Little sympathy for Lance Armstrong

» Lance Armstrong has apologized for lying about doping. He has not apologized for doping, which he says is as necessary as the air in his tires. But doping is lying because it provides an untrue result. It is the lie that lies underneath all his years of dissembling.

That takes the air out of his confession. Howard M. Greenfield

Lance Armstrong pours his heart out on The Opera Winfrey Show in front of millions of people. Are we supposed to feel sorry for his cheating, lying and in your face attitude?

While he did good for the Livestrong Foundation and encouraged tens of thousands of people affected by cancer to fight on, it will be over shadowed by his disgraceful actions.

The attitude of win at all costs is distorting sports — and not just cycling. We see suspicion being cast on a variety of sports. Baseball has had its fair share of questionable performers and can football be far behind? With contracts for elite athletes reaching in the tens of millions of dollars plus lucrative endorsements, the temptation is front and centre. Sports are resembling the photo editing software Photoshop: You can’t trust what your eyes see. Glen K. Malfara
