I'm one of the people (hapless suckers) that gave Armstrong money - and it wasn't just a $1 armband. Then I started paying attention ... ruh roh!!
Armstrong's story is like a dirty armpit: all you need is one whiff to realize that something's really rank.
For everybody that wants to hero worship, there's someone like me that wrote the guy a check out of ignorance. If it costs $50 million to make the guy tell the truth and additionally scare the sh*t out of the huge # of other household name athletes who are doped to the gills and lying like cheap toupees, so be it. I'm sick of it. We need integrity. And its worth the price.
If someone is going to get a $20 million a year paycheck, fine. But I need to be able to believe the words that come out of their mouth - particularly when they decide to take on the role of managing a public trust.
