LOL.

The NFL Hall of Fame is full of atheletes who used drugs to enhance their ability to play. Steroids, amphetamines, and painkillers were doled out like candy at a Halloween Party.

MLB has so many cheats populating the “ALL TIME” record book, it is hard to take it seriously.

Every MAJOR sport in America was/is OVERFLOWING with “juicers” and the sport and athelete they fixate on is Lance Armstrong and the EUROPEAN sport of cycling!?

This story is 10 years old. EVERY top cyclist that raced against Armstrong was on drugs and a cheat. It WAS a level playing field. He won. If he suffers future health issues its all on him.

The bigger scandal: How many of my tax dollars were WASTED on this stupid investigation?

If everyone’s cheating, it still doesn’t make them anything other than cheaters. The rules are what the rules are, even if nobody is following them. You can dream up a million excuses for the cheating, but it doesn’t change anything.

Also, I don’t see anyone “fixating” on Armstrong. We had a huge investigation with the baseball players few years ago, we investigate the Olympic athletes, and athletes from basically every sport constantly. The only thing special about Armstrong is that he has built up a cult of celebrity around himself, so it’s a bigger news story when he gets busted than when Joe Smith, the college track star gets busted.
