"Sheryl Crow has said that she feels bad for &amp;#039;heroic&amp;#039; ex-fianc\u00C3\u00A9 Lance Armstrong after he was stripped of his seven Tour de France titles.  The cyclist last month gave up his appeal against long-standing doping allegations, resulting in the US Anti-Doping Agency invalidating his performances in all professional races since August 1998 and handing him a lifetime ban. Armstrong has continued to protest his innocence.   Speaking on ABC talk show Katie yesterday (September 10), Crow described Armstrong - who she dated between 2003 and 2006 - as &amp;quot;someone I really care about&amp;quot;. &amp;quot;I know how hard he worked to win those titles and it was hard to watch,&amp;quot; she said. &amp;quot;I felt bad for him, I felt bad for his family. &amp;quot;He&amp;#039;s a hero that we&amp;#039;ve watched for a long time and admired... He&amp;#039;s probably tired of the whole fight.&amp;quot; It has been reported that Crow was questioned during a probe into Armstrong&amp;#039;s alleged doping last year.
