Cartoon comedy show South Park’s latest target appears to be disgraced cyclist Lance Armstrong.<\/h1>\n

In a teaser clip released by Comedy Central, an episode titled A Scause For Applause shows residents of the fictional American town standing in line to get their yellow wristbands removed.<\/p>\n

While the clip for the episode, to be shown on October 31, does not refer to Armstrong by name, Comedy Central said in a statement that it deals with “the recent news of drug use by a beloved icon” leaving “the world feeling lost and betrayed”.<\/p>\n

Armstrong, who was stripped of his Tour de France titles and banned for life earlier this month for doping, used yellow wristbands to promote his charity Livestrong.<\/p>\n

In the South Park episode the news has left the town enraged and upset as foul-mouthed Eric Cartman, one of the show’s four lead children, declares: “I can’t believe we all got duped.”<\/p>\n

School counsellor Mr Mackey sobs as his bracelet is removed, saying: “I don’t know what to believe in anymore.”<\/p>\n

Armstrong, 41, who became a hero after battling cancer to dominate the world of professional cycling, has always denied taking performance enhancing drugs.<\/p>\n

He was banned from the sport after 11 of his former team-mates testified against him and the United States Anti-Doping Agency published a report which alleged he had been involved in the “most sophisticated, professionalised and successful doping program that sport has ever seen”.<\/p>\n

South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone are known for responding quickly to current affairs and taboo subjects for their comedy show, which has become a cult hit.<\/p>\n

They previously landed in hot water after drawing the Muslim prophet Mohammed dressed in a bear costume in a 2006 episode.<\/p>\n

Other targets have included golfer Tiger Woods and socialite Paris Hilton.<\/p>\n
