Lance Armstrong

Comeback is now starting to apply to Lance Armstrong; the word greatness has always been there. What is something that always comes with greatness? Skepticism. Armstrong is one of the greatest athletes to ever live, and what he did by winning 7 Tour de France's is a feat of physical and mental strength and perserverance that few human beings have ever come close to. However, now that he is on the comeback trail, questions begin to arise. Was he doping during those 7 championships? The answer, 7 times in a row, was and is no. Armstrong was tested in every which way possible and the results were always the same, he was drug free.
The all too familiar sports great comeback is under way and people are, like always, trying to bring forth doubt that the athlete was ever great. The people who say that Lance Armstrong has embarrassed the sport because they think that he might have been doping while cycling are ridiculous and full of jealousy.
The fact is that Lance Armstrong doesn't need any drugs because he has his own internal "drugs." His heart is one and a half times bigger than the average human heart, which means that he can pump far more blood, much faster than many other cyclists. Combine that with his cardiovascular strength and experience and you've got the greatest cyclist in history. There will always be "haters," but there will not always be Lance Armstrong, so lets enjoy his rare talent while we still can and stop insulting him based on unproven theories.
