If everyone’s cheating, it still doesn’t make them anything other than cheaters. The rules are what the rules are, even if nobody is following them. You can dream up a million excuses for the cheating, but it doesn’t change anything.
Also, I don’t see anyone “fixating” on Armstrong. We had a huge investigation with the baseball players few years ago, we investigate the Olympic athletes, and athletes from basically every sport constantly. The only thing special about Armstrong is that he has built up a cult of celebrity around himself, so it’s a bigger news story when he gets busted than when Joe Smith, the college track star gets busted.
Are you kidding that the investigators weren’t fixate on Armstrong!? He has been THE target for years!
He is being sripped of all his Olympic Medals and Tour wins and rightfully so.
When will the record books in the MLB remove Bonds, Sosa, Clemens, MacGuire, Rodriguez and others? Why are their records allowed to stand? They were all as big a cheats as Armstrong. When will this agency anounce that these atheletes are being stripped of their records?
