Lance Armstrong is Lance Ethicsweak

Today a news headline stated that Lance Armstrong, the professional cyclist, admits to "doping" while riding and he further stated that "Impossible to win" the Tour de France while he was competing.
Riddle me this Batman,  If nobody uses drugs while competing, and the race has a winner, then Lance's statement is just wrong.  If some use drugs but don't win then he is also wrong.
Maybe what he meant to say is that it was impossible for HIM to win it without drugs.  If that is the case, then he should not have won, and it is appropriate that he is stripped of his titles.  He is a simply a cheat.  I guess you could say that he lack the ball(s)  to accept defeat. (I just couldn't resist that)  Unfortunately he is just one person who has been singled out in a culture that values only winning.

There will always be somebody better, faster, stronger, more clever.........So why don't we just enjoy who and what and where we are being the best we can be and not worry over how we rate compared to others, all the while enjoying the achievements of those who go further and faster than ourselves, just as other people can appreciate what we achieve?

Be aware of what really matters.
Play playfully.
riding for fun, freedom & adventure
These kids in this picture below may not have uniforms, helmets, batting gloves, or an aluminum bat, but they have what most kids these days on the little league field are missing, SMILES.
Playing should be just that, play.
