Move on from Lance

So what if Lance doped – most professional athletes do!  With pressure from media; sponsorship and packages paid out based on performance what can you expect athletes to do – this is their livelihood! If they feel the need to dope to succeed so be it – it is their life, their body. 

If only South African media could perhaps give even 50% of the attention this story has received to young up and coming cyclists and athletes – who knows what we could achieve or how the sport would benefit.

Lance is talented and dedicated and loves his sport so leave the man alone he is NOT the only one to do this …. and he is the one who has to live with it.  Regardless of doping, I personally still believe he is the greatest cyclist ever.  MOVE ON let the media focus on our governments’ corruption, our survivors of floods, our HIV orphans, our e-tolling issues – you know real news issues that affect the daily life of our nation.
