The 2002 Critérium du Dauphiné Libéré was the 54th edition of the cycle race and was held from 9 June to 16 June 2002. The race started in Lyon and finished in Geneva. The race has no overall winner. Although Lance Armstrong originally won the event, he was stripped of the title due to violating anti-doping rules. In 2012, the United States Anti-Doping Agency disqualified him from his results after 1 August 1998.[2] The verdict was confirmed by the UCI.
