I sure hope I'm not getting sick again, but it sure seems that way. I got on the treadmill just couldn't bring myself to push the start button so I went to the elliptical for 15 minutes, went back to the treadmill ran for about 1 minute and went back to the elliptical. I really don't get it, were there people that actually believed Lance Armstrong never used drugs?? First of all, why would you believe 1 person that had everything to loose by telling the truth, and not the hundreds of people that either saw him do it, saw the evidence of it, or heard him admit it that had nothing to loose either way. Second, HE HAD CANCER. Where do you think these drugs come from? They didn't invent HGH, and EPO so people can go win the Tour De France. They get the money to develop these drugs from funds for things like cancer research. He was obviously taking drugs, people don't get over cancer naturally, that's why they spend Millions of dollars on cancer research, to make drugs that make the body do things it normally wouldn't do. This brings up the final question. Why do we (you and me) need a hero so bad. Lance didn't start out wanting to be a hero. He wanted to not die from cancer and go win a bike race that no one in America even cared about. He didn't set out to defraud people, who cares if he's not a "nice guy" it's companies like Nike, and Trek that enable this to happen. They are the ones that try to create super humans that look and smell nice, and perform at a level above what a normal human is capable of. Lance may be a very good liar, but it's not like he didn't know it. He tried to make the best of it and started a foundation to help millions of people to try and make up for it.
