Lance Armstrong Confesses

The news has finally emerged about Lance Armstrong's admission to using performance-enhancing substances during his time as a cyclist. Armstrong has been recognized as the beloved tour-de-force of the Tour de France for years, but the recent news concerning his dubious performance has his fans (some former) divided.

Many people are outraged that he has taken so long to come clean about the subject, saying that he could have come clean about the issue long ago, but wanted to wait until his success and career was behind him.

His more loyal proponents are insisting that his long history of work for LiveSTRONG - an organization devoted to helping the cancer community - far outweighs his decision to juice. These people say that the impact that his success has allowed him to make in the cancer community was worth his lapse in athletic honesty.

Armstrong has reportedly given an effusive apology to his staff at LiveSTRONG for all of the stress that speculation about his athletic past has brought upon the organization. Whether his apology is sincere, however, will be up to others to decide.
