Default Lance Armstrong...

As one of his fans, I was very disappointed and ashamed when learning that Lance Armstrong had been
using performance enhancing drugs to win the Tour de France races that he won.

However, I'm proud that the US has gone public with the findings of the US Anti-Doping Agency. I can
imagine a whole host of countries that would have covered it up, if any of it had ever come to
light.

Go America.

It's professional sports. It's not important.

Must have been important. Our US postal service tossed a lot of money in to
bike racing. I guess any professional business is unimportant to to you.

I don't think the military should be sponsoring NASCAR, either.

Here's a good article on what Armstrong could and should do to rehab himself. I'd hate to see the
Livestrong Foundation flounder because of his doping.

http://tinyurl.com/ahldvvo

Excerpt:
"Patton: I'm willing to bet a lot of what prompted his admission is the realization that there are a
lot of people who are dependent upon the success of that foundation. There are a lot of people who
have invested time, talent, and resources into its success, and I believe he recognizes the good
it's done and what it needs in order for it to go on. While he'll always be inextricably linked to
Livestrong, it's in many ways time to create distance between the message and the messenger.

Livestrong was all about overcoming odds, working hard, pushing the boundaries of what you can
accomplish physically. So to find out that all of that was supported with the use of
performance-enhancing drugs totally eradicates the core brand DNA. It would almost be similar to if,
during Michael Jordan's basketball career, people had questioned why he could fly so high. From
Nike's perspective, and Michael's, it was Air Jordan, but [it would have been damaging] if we found
out Michael had jet propulsion in his sneakers."
