I've got a good example as well. Lance Amstrong. Don't approve what he has done. But considering that there were so many others at that same time who took whatever they could, it wasn't that bad. And if he would have held all the money he won with cycling for himself then it would have been another story. He can live a comfortable life now; true. But if you know what he donated to AND DID FOR several good causes and especially the LAF. Thousends and thousends of people being cured from cancer thanks to all his initiatives. But people seem to forget that very fast.
Despite the stupid thing he did, to me he is still a HERO.
I can see that. You're really basing his 'hero' status in your eyes on the good he did with his talent. Even without any enhancers, the man has a great talent! In a competition there has to be rules, but I do not think breaking those rules should demonize the great things a person has done. Poor choice? Yes but that just means no competitions in my opinion.
I would still let people see how he has talent, how hard he worked to refine that talent, and the wonderful choices he made with his donations. :) Thanks for replying!
