"Oh, how the mighty have fallen"

[abelisle]

What an object lesson for everyone = Lance Armstrong. I knew about his cheating years ago but he had so successfully intimidated his opposition and so cynically created a cancer support group (Livestrong), he was untouchable.

But now his day has come as it will for all of us.

Two of my favorite sports greats - Tiger Woods and Lance Armstrong have fallen big time. A sad time for me.

What happened to all those numerous negative tests he had?

So Alex did you actually get to look at those results? I'm not doubting that the reports are true! But until it can be really verified, I still have my doubts.

[Woody]

From what I have heard - ALL riders take illegal drugs. So it does not take away from what Armstrong did. I suspect there is a level playing field.

Me too. The idolatry of this present age is offset by a simultaneous need to hate someone/something in order to feel better about ourselves.

So the testimony of the entire team is not sufficient?

[phkrause]

And that whole team wasn't any better, so why not just implicate him as well!

[olger]

I like testimonies - don't like popular feeding frenzies.

[Woody]

It was a team arrangement/decision

Are you of the opinion there are some who are immune from having an Achilles heel? I have a strong inclination in reflection, "Lord, save me from a knowledge of every body else's failures. I have all I can work on by the present knowledge I can remember, of my own."

God blesses!

"At ease, private!!"

Sad to say that isn't the only thing I can remember about my three years in the Marine Corps.

"Go back to what you heard and believed at first; hold to it firmly. Repent and turn to me again. If you don’t wake up, I will come to you suddenly, as unexpected as a thief."Revelation 3:3 NLT

That's the only rapture that is secret that I know of in the Word.

God blesses!

As a non-competitive bodybuilder, I know that just about all professional athletes take some type of drugs. Boxers may not, but more and more MMA fighters do. Watch "Bigger Stronger Faster" when you get a chance. Very informative documentary.
