The U.S. Anti-Doping Agency stripped Lance Armstrong’s seven Tour de France titles Friday, erasing one of the most incredible achievements in sports after deciding he had used performance-enhancing drugs to do it.
I
have no idea whether Lance Armstrong won by doping. As far as I can
tell, after spending considerable time trying to research it: he never
once tested positive. I'm not a particular fan of the man himself...
I don't know him...
But I *am* a fan of what he's done with his fame to raise funds for cancer research.
And I find this statement by the World Anti-Doping Agency boss John Fahey that "he believes the decision of Armstrong not to challenge the charges can only be seen as an admission of guilt"
UTTERLY PREPOSTEROUS AND VILE.
Silly me, I thought we lived in a society where we are innocent until proved guilty.
Now it appears we live in a society where we are guilty until we prove our innocence.
