Tyson Gay, one of the athletes who failed a drug test, was a best-hope sprinter for the United States. He said he did not "have a sabotage story."

After years of denials, he admitted in January that he used performance-enhancing drugs during his career. Nike earlier cut ties with Armstrong. Now it is parting ways with the foundation.

The U.S. Anti-Doping Agency's reach doesn't extend to U.S. Masters Swimming. But swimming's international authority objected to his planned participation. Then, Armstrong withdrew.

At least one lawsuit accuses the disgraced cyclist of fraud. That suit and others could reduce Armstrong's net worth, estimated at more than $100 million.

That follows a similar story from The New York Times. Meanwhile, 60 Minutes Sports says says Armstrong once tried to "donate" $250,000 to the anti-doping agency.
