Armstrong's Legacy Tarnished


Lance Armstrong’s announcement that he will not fight the doping charges against him brings another embarrassment for the sporting world. Even though there are several people that would attest to Armstrong’s doping activities, he has continued to deny all allegations. His refusal to address the charges means that the United States Anti-Doping Agency can now proceed to nullify Armstrong’s seven Tour de France titles. While this is another reminder for athletes to play by the rules, there will continue to be those whose desperation to win has no respect for principles.
