DISGRACED United States cyclist Lance Armstrong has scrapped plans to enter a swim race in Texas following objections from the sport's global governing body, it was reported on Thursday. Armstrong, 41, who was stripped of his seven Tour de France wins and banned for life before later confessing to drug-taking throughout his career, had hoped to compete in a US Masters Swimming event in Austin this weekend. However, Armstrong's participation in the event was swiftly opposed by swimming's governing body FINA, which said in a statement the cyclist should be barred from competing under anti-doping regulations.
