Having losses and getting caught is a risk you have to factor in to your price for the product.<br /><br />At the top of this blogpost is a picture of Lance Armstrong that is COPYRIGHTED BY OPRAH. Is that "cheating?" Of course it is, but blogging is a culture of cheating to provide reader-likable content.<br /><br />Lance's lying seems like the least of it to me, and his doping seems understandable if mechanisms to prevent "cheating" aren't really in place. He "cheated" with a wink and a nod from the event sponsors and facilitators.<br /><br />Who was hurt, exactly? Those with "the fire in the belly" will do anything to win -- witness our recent presidential race.

My interest in cycling started with the famous Geg Lemond 8sec Tour Win. I believe that Lance is an amazing cyclist, despite the drugs, but as a man.... I will be interested to see whether he can ever look at himself as a man and live with himself. Will his arrogance ever let him see himself at all?Graham Phoenix | Male eXperiencehttp://malexperience.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7372876601826078687.post-70525015121657873792013-01-19T01:09:23.733-07:002013-01-19T01:09:23.733-07:00This sort of stuff makes me doubt everything.

Bobby the Brain Heenan once said, "Win if you can, lose if you must bu always cheat."<br /><br />On Moonshiners on of them said, "It's only illegal if you get caught."<br /><br />With guys like Bonds, Rothlisberger, McGwire and Tiger Woods staining all sports there are no heroes only bums.<br /><br />I am beyond disgusted with this sort of crap. Cheating in everywhere because it is expected and pretty much allowed. All Armstrong will get is a slap on the wrist in spite of the fact that he swindled the US postal service out of $30 million. <br /><br />This is about a lot of things but one thing nobody is talking about is rich privilege. He's toss some money around and buy his way out of this. That's what the rich do.<br /><br />Armstrong cares very little for the sport. To him it is not a sport. Maybe as fans we should stop watching pro sports except for hockey.Fat Bastardohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03839915109115122588noreply@blogger.com
