Hello 300 Pounds and Runnng Readers,
This is day two of Septemeber Blog Writing Chalenge and today’s topic is: Share your thoughts and feelings about Lance Armstrong’s lifetime ban and loss of titles.
I feel like its not going to hurt him at all, I think it’s too late in the game to strip him of everything because people associate Lance Armstrong to those titles like bees are associated to honey. I don’t know if he did or didn’t “cheat”, I feel like in professional sports athletes “cheat” in some form, shape or fashion. From taking different substances/ supplement to using machines that speeds up their recovery time. The thing about elite athletes is that stuff only helps them a little, if any because they are the ones training every second of there lives to be the best at thier sport. I see if he took something that turned him into the bike Incredible Hulk, yes now we have a problem. But he is already a tremendous athlete does it make that much of a difference?
A part of me wants to say, “who cares isn’t sports for entertainment purposes anyway?” Then why does it matter if it’s for entertainment? What about the charity and awareness that he has done for cancer? Shouldn’t that matter the most anyway?
Now it’s your turn; what are you feeling on Lance Armstrong’s lifetime ban and loss of titles?
