Give Lance Another Chance

Lance Armstrong a accomplished cyclist was banned professional cycling and stripped of his seven Tour de France titles. Why? Lance had an interview with Oprah Winfrey  and confessed to using performance-enhancing drugs for the past decade.

People were devastated by this news. CNN asks if Lance should get another chance and a lot of people replied to the issue( most replies were bad).

Frida Ghittis had this to say " Lance Armstrong's story of triumph over adversity captured the imagination of millions around the world, including people like me, who don't usually spend a lot of time absorbing in following sports news. That's because Armstrong's achievements-- recovering from cancer and then breaking records in the cycling world-- made him a source of inspiration, an icon of hope. They also made his lies all the more disappointing. Armstrong didn't just lie about cycling. He lied for a decade, and deceived all those who found inspiration in him'.

Randy Cohen said " The important ethical question isn't whether Lance deserves a second chance. Chance to do what? Cheat in seven more Tours? Lie about it seven more times? Bully seven more teammates into doping? He behaved badly and is rightly censured. But that should be the beginning, not the end, of this disheartening story. There's a lot more blame to go around. Cycling's governing bodies also have an ethical duty, and that's to provide a setting in which honest athletes can participate.

In conclusion I believe Lance shouldn't get one more chance. He used a drug to increase his chances of winning, that's okay if you do it maybe for a week, but for an entire decade are you serious. He shouldn't even be allowed to touch anything that even looks like a bike. When are people going to learn that hard work an determination is the only path to go. But nowadays there are so many shortcuts that cause people to be lazy, which is disgusting. If I were Tour de France I make sure Lance never comes near another tournament!!!!
