Lance Armstrong-winner of seven Tour de France bike races was stripped of his victories post hoc when convicted by bike racing's governing body of using performance enhancing drugs. He of course confessed that to Oprah Winfree recently.
Armstrong has proven to cancer victims that with the right cocktail of performance enhancers they too might 'live stronger'. Ironically though an admitted prevaricator Armstrong's admission provides more data to cancer survivors about how they too might recover their athletic health and even be better than before. It may be just a matter of time before Lance stars in 'The Six Hundred Million Dollar Man'.
One doesn't want the moral equivalence of an arms race with performance enhancing drugs and genetic engineering of course because of the monstrosities that might emerge-a real incredible hulk-however the public is addicted to breast enlargements and other kinds of enhancers even while the national share of world Global D.P. has dropped from 30 to 21%. Armstrong probably will not long experience majority approbation.
