He wants to compete in other athletic contests and he wants the LiveStrong Foundation to avoid being tarnished along with him.<br /><br />But it's more than just his personal cheating - a lot of cyclists of that era did the same thing. He essentially engineered an entire doping program for the U.S. Cycling Team and threatened anyone who might have dared defy him or expose him. He called them liars and threatened to ruin them. He's a genuine bad guy, no matter how much his cancer foundation has accomplished.Archiguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13402271358568917397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7536140049505603887.post-61346323305009282992013-01-14T13:14:59.486-05:002013-01-14T13:14:59.486-05:00He is not looking for confession.

I doubt it. He still believes he was right to do what he did. If one reveals only what is already known then the speech is to an audience of one.tarhoosierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10203562404036647187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7536140049505603887.post-31370082714676597182013-01-14T11:32:36.753-05:002013-01-14T11:32:36.753-05:00This has nothing to do with Armstrong's guilt ...This has nothing to do with Armstrong's guilt or innocence per se. However, there's a story begging to be written.<br /><br />If he's innocent, fine, miracles happen. But if he isn't, medically, what can we learn about the drugs, medications or methods he used that were illegal in the sports arena, but might hold fantastic promise for cancer sufferers all over the world? There's no question Armstrong was near death, and yet, he came back to record unprecedented athletic achievements. If it were the result of doping, chemicals, drugs and so on, can those lessons be applied to everyday, non-celebrity cancer sufferers?blockheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17376074256505218722noreply@blogger.com
