Lance Armstrong books headed to fiction section of Australian library

He fooled anti-doping watchdogs for years, but now Lance Armstrong can’t even outwit the Dewey Decimal System.

The Manly Library in Sydney, Australia, is moving all of its books about the disgraced cyclist to where they belong — the fiction section.

“All nonfiction Lance Armstrong titles, including ‘Lance Armstrong: Images Of A Champion,’ ‘The Lance Armstrong Performance Program’ and ‘Lance Armstrong: World’s Greatest Champion,’ will soon be moved to the fiction section,” a sign announced over the weekend.

The move follows the 41-year-old Armstrong’s long-delayed confession last week that he relied on performance-enhancing drugs to place first in seven Tour de France competitions.

For years he lied about taking the drugs but has since been stripped of all his titles for cheating and banned from the sport.

He pleaded for forgiveness during the interview with Oprah Winfrey last week and said he wanted to compete again.

It’s unclear if the Manly Library will spark a worldwide trend of removing books about Armstrong from the non-fiction section trend.
