RE: Viernes de #cotinasports Atletas Tramposos en los Deportes Parte 2
but you also have to admit that he was totally shameless when you are at Lance Armstrong's level as an athlete it automatically makes you an example to follow both big and small the admiration and everything you did in a sport is your calling card and the damage all for cheating.
and nowadays he is in bankruptcy lawsuits and all his sponsorship was taken away it is a shame that someone like that is left that way.
Absolutely - he was such an inspiration for so many. So many young cyclists that took up the sport because of him. Like you say, "an example to follow". And then to discover he's cheated from the outset.
Fortunately, those who took up the sport and continued to make it popular stayed interested but it would have been nice if such an iconic figure had been "a good guy". But then if he was a good guy, would he have been such a good cyclist and able to promote the sport so much. Quite a contradiction.
if he was a good guy he would be a total legend with full honors
