Armstrong: Be truthful about doping
This article is about a sports scandal. Lance Armstrong was known as one of the best cyclists ever to live He dominated the sport for close to ten years. Lance Armstrong was seen as a major inspiration story. He was not only just a great cyclist but he was diagnosed with testicular cancer that spread to the lungs. Not only did he survive, he returned to the sport, as well as start a Cancer Society. Lance Armstrong was accused of doping blood and was banned from the sport and stripped of all seven of his Tour de France titles. He recently talked to Oprah Winfrey about coming clean in a 2 hour long interview. This article does not say what Armstrong said. Oprah said that the information shared in the interview about Lance's doping situation will be air'd on her next two shows.
I personally think that Lance Armstrong did "blood dope". This sport requires so much training so much physical strain on the body. To be at the top of this sport for almost a decade and be winning time after time? I also think that he will come clean in this interview with Oprah. Throughout his career Lance was questioned with doping blood for the same suspicions I wrote above. He had denied them frequently and avoided the problem. But know there is sufficient evidence that states he was "blood doping". His name was tarnished when news came out. he was stripped of his titles and band from competitive cycling anywhere in the world(although he retired in 2005). I think he owes it to his fans and his competitors to tell the truth. People Idolized this man because what he did was thought of superhuman and amazing. I do hope that Lance didn't do anything to give himself an unfair advantage against his opponents. But unfortunately, I just don't see that as a legitimate possibility.
