The Lance Armstrong Scandal; How Bad Could it Get?
If you missed the article by Kathleen O'Brien on nj.com, you should check it out.
Ms. O'Brien raises a series of very fair questions about Armstrong and his cancer history. It should be noted that Armstrong denies blood doping by using illegal performance enhancing drugs (PED's). But the claims of Armstrong using PED's is growing louder with his former teammates purportedly telling a federal grand jury of Armstrong's PED use.
Now I am no doctor, but there is enough literature concerning the use of PED's and their connection to being a rocket fuel for cancer. As Ms. O'Brien notes "what's the point of cancer screening, good nutrition. even raising money for research [as Armstrong has done] if cancer survivors feel free to tamper with their body's basic metabolism."
If Armstrong took PED's, then I will have a growing empty feeling that Lance's cancer may have been created or fueled by his own choices.
