Fallen Hero

i don't really have an opinion about the sports aspect - i agree with daktari that it's not cut and dried and that i tend to lean more towards - of course he should be stripped of his title. but i think there are so many problems with how sports works and how athletes are treated and all of that and to pick on this specific situation might be too much of missing the forest for the trees.

one thing i find really interesting is the perspective of my friends who've had cancer on the situation. i have a friend who is very vocal about having always thought lance was pretty much an ass and how very few of her fellow cancer survivors idolize him the way people outside of the cancer survivor community seem to.
