Lance Armstrong, a former beloved American road racing cyclist, confessed having used performance-enhancing drugs throughout his career.
In 1999-2005, Armstrong won the annual Tour the France seven times in a row, after having just beaten a stage-three cancer in 1997. He was the rider with most Tour the France wins.
In 2012, the Court of Arbitration for Sport disqualified Armstrong from all of his competition results since 1998, due to the use of prohibited and illegal drugs. Armstrong denied all of the accusations.
... until today, when confessed that it were the enhancing drugs, indeed, behind his incredible success. He realizes that it is too late to apologize; and he seems to be right in this case. The American people do not seem to be willing to forgive.
