The Fall and Disgrace of Lance Armstrong


Lance Armstrong throws in the towel and lets USADA strip him of his seven TDF titles. Do I think Lance Armstrong doped? Absolutely. I have been waiting for this day, and it has finally come. Lance Armstrong is a cheater.

There will be some people still deep in denial, but it is painfully obvious that Lance is guilty as hell. The fighter calls it quits? Please. . .

USADA went after Lance because they absolutely knew he was guilty. They wouldn't have wasted their time if there was nothing there. They could only destroy their own legitimacy going after an innocent man. But Lance Armstrong is not innocent. I think what USADA had on him will come out and be measured in the court of public opinion.

As pleased as I am that we see Lance Armstrong for what he really is, the downside is that his stripped titles will go to others who are just as dirty. It is a bit of a joke. In a clean competition, Lance would have probably still won. But in a dirty competition, there are no real winners. USADA won an epic battle against Lance Armstrong, but they are absolutely losing this war.

I don't know what will become of Lance Armstrong now. My advice to him is to just disappear. Go away, and don't come back. The world should forget him.
