Should Lance Armstrong's 7 Tour de France titles be given to the second place rider?
I think that the titles should be given to the second place riders. If the titles were not given to them, it would be like those races never even happened. This would be unfair to the other riders, because they worked very hard in the races, and probably could've won if Lance Armstrong hadn't been cheating. Therefore, I believe that the titles won by Armstrong should be given to the runners up for those races
Yes, the title should be given to the second place riders because otherwise there would be no true winner for that year. Also, the other riders worked so hard and should be given the opportunity to receive that honor of the Tour de France title.

I think Lance Armstrong’s Tour De France titles should be given to the second place winners, because it is the only fair option. Normally if someone is disqualified during a race, the race goes on without the disqualified person and a winner is declared. I think the same thing should happen if someone is disqualified after a race. The other cyclists probably feel cheated that Lance took away the trophies because of an illegal advantage, so the titles should be given to their rightful owners.
