Lance Armstrong Cheats

     In the article "Give Lance Another Chance?" written by CNN, they discuss the recent finding out of how Lance Armstrong cheated in the professional cycling. Armstrong raised money for many different cancer charity's and was a big hero and inspiration to many kids all over the world. Armstrong admitted to using performance enhancer drugs while he was doing the races.
     Many people are disgusted by this but there are also people who believes that he should be given another chance.
     Editor of the ESPN Magazine, Roxanne Jones, says that "He is not Trustworthy. She says this because he has been cheating for years now and filling so many peoples head with hope and she believed that he wasn't cheating after all the rumors so she feels betrayed.
     Many people feel led on by Armstrong and his lies. He has been cheating for about 10 years now. that's 10 years of lies and deceived winning.
    Author of "Barack Obama, Ronald Reagan, and The Ghost of Dr. King: Blogs and Essays.", Kevin Powell states that "We all have our flaws." He believe that if Lance really apologizes and is very sorry that more people will forgive him. He says that everybody makes mistakes because we are all human and humans make all types of mistakes.
     There are people like Powell who make other people maybe want to look at Lance Armstrong as another human who just makes mistakes. i believe that Armstrong should be forgiven because he did raise so much money for all those kids with cancer. He was a hero for many kids and should still be, he should use this as an example to teach other children not to lie.
     Shawn Klein, teacher at the Department of Philosophy and Center for Ethics and Enterenurship at Rockford College in Illinois say that "If he cooperates, maybe the lifetime ban could be reduced." Armstrong was banned from professional cycling since the incident, for life. what he did really hurt a lot of people.
     Lance did a lot for many others but also messed his entire life up in the process. he owes apologizes, money and much more. he will most likely never see his fame up rise like this again. i think being humiliated in front of the whole world and for years to come is enough punishment. he should be left alone, not given any attention. Forgive and forget.
