Armstrong's cycling team to appear before disciplinary hearing


(CNN) -- Lance Armstrong's RadioShack cycling team must go before a disciplinary hearing after delaying the final stage of the Tour de France on Sunday when team members "[breached] the regulations governing riders' clothing," the International Cycling Union said.
The race was delayed 20 minutes while Team RadioShack changed out of its unapproved anti-cancer-themed attire, a move that the union says could have disrupted the televised coverage of the race.
"The UCI regrets that an initiative for a cause as worthy as the fight against cancer was not coordinated beforehand with the Commissaires and organisers of the event. This could have been done whilst remaining within the rules," the statement said in a press release Monday.
