Lance Armstrong pleads guilty to careless driving in Aspen incident

Armstrong pleads guilty to careless driving
Disgraced cyclist Lance Armstrong pays a fine after pleading guilty to driving into two parked cars in the Colorado ski resort of Aspen.

Disgraced cyclist Lance Armstrong has pleaded guilty to careless driving after hitting two parked cars in the Colorado ski resort in Aspen on December 28.

The authorities confirmed at the time that his girlfriend Anna Hansen initially took the blame in order to save Armstrong from media scrutiny.

According to the Pitkin county clerk's office, Armstrong will not face a court hearing as he paid $238.50 (£154.50) in fines and court costs last week.

The 43-year-old, who was stripped of his seven Tour de France titles in 2012 due to years of doping, was fined $10m (£6.5m) earlier this week for lying about his use of performance-enhancing drugs.
