Hero To Zero

Now that Nike has unceremoniously dropped Lance Armstrong from their payroll, Armstrong has passed the point of no-return from the hero pedestal he once occupied. The descent from the apex in popularity has been rapid. Lance Armstrong will not be remembered as a top role-model or world hero in cycling but rather as the antithesis of true sportsmanship. If he had any remaining sense of integrity he would come forward taking ownership for his conduct and apologize for hoodwinking his supporters and fans into believing he was something he was not.
