Lance Armstrong

Seems like I am fixated on sports lately, but a lot of the big news is coming from the sports page. It looks like the final chapter is being written on Lance Armstrong as he finishes his last Tour de France. Not so fast (as Lee Corso would say), Lance will be in the news for years to come as steroid accusations finally go before a federal review. It seems that based on Floyd Landis' statements (and we know he always tells the truth), there will be a federal investigation. Even 3 time past winner Greg Lemond has jumped on the Landis testerone infused bandwagon. If Lance did break the rules, then he will pay the price. He has a huge following and his Livestrong foundation is truly one of the neat organizations in this world. His public profile helps him raise money for cancer cures and treatments; that will most certainly take a hit if he is found guilty. I guess I am tired of the whole steroid thing. In fact, I think steroids should be allowed. Why don't we see the feats of man at its most extreme level? The reality is that sport, outside of little league baseball, has really become entertainment not sport; so let it ride.
