Lance
Armstrong raised a ton of money for cancer awareness in this century. He became
an American legend for dominating a grueling event with one testicle. He's an
inspiration to millions who have beaten cancer or fought bravely before passing
on from this life. He influenced the trend on folks wearing bracelets with
messages on them.
Now that
we've gotten that out of the way, does that change with the overwhelming
evidence that he is a cheater? Not just a cheater but someone who elaborately lied for years to keep it up. Someone who rode the fame wave of his celebrity despite
bullying and threatening those who dared speak up against his empire. A man who
rudely cast aside his wife in a nasty divorce.
A man who’s
fall should be worse than Tiger Woods, Michael Vick, Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens
and anybody in the sports landscape since O.J. Simpson. A man stripped from glory and all of his
titles because he decided to keep lying in the space of overwhelming evidence
and he’s trying to save whatever good name he has.
