I think that what he did is long in the past but still wrong even though he devoted it to Cancer Patients.
ReplyDeleteI think that what Lance Armstrong did was wrong, and that he isn't a good person. Really, he can make as many excuses as he wants, but he still lied to millions of people, and cheated. I think everyone will forget about it as time passes, though.
ReplyDeleteI think its very sad and disturbing to the people that actually believed in him. He lied to everybody several times I would not be able to do that but he did. Lance Armstrong lives in Austin and that is what makes it even bigger.
ReplyDeleteI think that he shouldn't be lieying about what he said and he should live hes life better since he is a cancer surviver also he should value life more because of that and he should be more nice.....(:
ReplyDeleteI think that what he did was not the right thing to lie especially if a lot of people followed him
ReplyDeleteWow. That was wrong of him to do that to all those people. He was just thinking of himself and others. That was wrong of him and disappointing .
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion what he did was very disappointing to others and was wrong. He cheated and lied and lied to so many people. Though this is true I am glad that he finally told the truth and maybe, when time passes and he proves worthy of it, he may be forgiven for his mistakes or not because it depends on how that person deciding to forgive him or not feels about what he has done.
ReplyDeleteEventhough he has apologized for using drugs, he still betrayed the trust of everyone who supported him.
ReplyDeleteI think its not very sad and disturbing the people that actually believe him. He really makes, excuses as he wants, but he still lies to millions of people and cheated.
ReplyDeleteI think its wrong. But without doing drugs we dont know if he would have made Livestrong. We don't know if he would have won those medals and gotten sponcered if he didnt used those enhanced performance drugs. Atleast he confesed but he did it too late.
ReplyDeleteI think it was wrong what he did but every one has a reason why they do the thing they did and people should for get about it because we're not living in the past.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion I Think Lance Armstrong has done something that any athlete will do. But at the same time he lied to his cancer surviver's, as him self.
ReplyDeleteHe deserves the punishment that will be given to him. I liked how honest he was with Oprah and told the truth.
Lance did disappoint others by using drugs and cheating on all those tournaments or whatever.But we are forgetting about the good things that he has done.Yes he has done quite a lot of bad things but we are forgetting that he dedicated his time and money to millions of cancer patients.
ReplyDeleteI think that what he did was wrong especially because he had lied way too many times.And he shpould vai=ule his live more
ReplyDeleteI think it's very bad that he lied to many people. Even
ReplyDeleteI think its bad to do drugs.He might started barely doing drugs so they should investigate before giving him charges.
ReplyDeleteI think he was wrong to sue people and he knew he was doing that stuff. Thats why I think he should give money back to those he sued and whatever punishment he gets he deserves.
ReplyDeleteI think this was very interesting that Lance was lying all these years then finally told the truth. I think that he was very brave that he told the truth that's all that matters to me.

ReplyDeleteI think that Lance did the good thing to tell the truth and not be lying and he did the right choice to tell the truth.
ReplyDeleteI think it's really bad to lie about drugs especially if your cycler.If he said when they asked them in the first place about the drugs it would of already been in the past people would already forget about it.That's my opinon about Lance Armstrong.
ReplyDeletehey he made that chois evry chois u make in life weather its good or bad will allwaze come back to bite u in the but...and it did to lance armstrong
ReplyDeleteHe is brave and after what he said now especially he has to be brave and what he did it people .
ReplyDeleteI think it was wrong what he did and he knew he was doing drugs but at the end he told the trude.

ReplyDeleteI like it because Lance Armstrong had a lot of courage to finally say the truth that he had been hidden for long years.
ReplyDeleteI think it's good that he confesed but wrong to do drugs.I think drugs don't make you stronger or faster.They just make you weaker in a part of you.

ReplyDeleteI think that what he did was wrong.He lied to people and that was wrong to.
ReplyDeleteWhat I think is bad but at the end he give up and he told the truth.
ReplyDeleteIt's sad that he lied to everyone in the past, it was a good thing that he said he did use drugs but he did it too late so now all of his trophies will be taken away from him.I think other cyclists that didn't use drugs worked so hard to get to the Olympics and didn't win because Armstrong used drugs to win. I know people can forgive, but they can't forget.
ReplyDeleteI really thought he was a good guy but hard to believe that he would this. But so far he is telling the truth.
ReplyDeleteWhat lance was doing was bad but at the end he did the right choice and told the truth wich was right
ReplyDeleteI think that he shouldn't have lied in the first place ,he should of told the truth , & there is a lot of people that trusted him ,& believed in him, but at least hes telling the truth.
ReplyDeleteI think Lance Armstrong is wrong for lieing. I say we should for give and forget,everybody makes missakes. But i understand that everybody thinks hes a hipacrit. He is but
ReplyDeleteyou cant judge nobody.
I think what he did was wrong because he lied to the people.
ReplyDeleteI think that it was sad and bad that he had lied at first but the good thing is that at the moment he felt bad and decided to tell the truth which is great for him because he can let everything out of his system and not feel guilty of what he did or what he's done.
ReplyDeleteI think what he did was wrong , But at the end he did a right thing to say the truth . But he shouldn't of lied anyways .
ReplyDeletei think he felt bad for what he did and wanted too tell everybody that he was lieying the whole time.And it was a bad thing he had did too he aprrently cheatin.
ReplyDeleteI think LANCE ARMSTRONG should have admitted that he was using drugs.He knows it is bad and illegle to do drugs.Peolpe keep saying:"I saw him doing drugs".He should have told the truth from the very begining and he wouldn't have this problem.But I'm glad that he told the truth that was the right thing
ReplyDeleteI think he shouldn't used drugs in the first place and have some fun racing.
ReplyDeleteI feel that Lance Armstrong was wrong to cheat in his cycling career. I is good that he is finally at mitting it though.
ReplyDeleteI think it was wrong of him to lie to millions of people that he wasn't doping and he was.But he did the right thing by coming clean about this big lie.I think he needed to take his punishment by getting stripped of his title. But I think people should forgive and forget!
ReplyDeleteI think that Lance Armstrong did really bad because he lied to the people,and some people are so sad because they believe on him,and if he wants to say something some people or all of the people are not going to believe him because he lied.I think he should tell the truth in the first place but maybe he knew that this was going to happened.
ReplyDeleteI think that what he did was wrong because he lie to the people.But then everybody makes mistakes.
ReplyDeleteThink about the positives of Lance Armstrong and not the negatives, we all cheated at least once in our life. Learn to forgive and forget.
ReplyDeleteWell this is what i saw last night that he lied to everybody
ReplyDeleteWhat Lance Armstrong did was wrong because he cheated using drugs and he lied to lots of people but at least he was brave to tell the truth.
ReplyDeleteWhat he did was wrong. He should have know that he would get got and punished one day. Some people saw him do and when they said something, he said that he wasn't. Right then and there he should have said ok yes I did do it. But to wait all these years to finally tell the truth just made it worst for him. Maybe if he would have said he was when those people saw him, then maybe it wouldn't have been so bad for him.
ReplyDeleteI think it was very wrong for him to be using those drugs just so he could win! I also think he has disappointed many people and some will never be able to forgive him! I am also glad that he did confessed to his wrong doing.
ReplyDeletewhat maded him say the truth?
ReplyDeleteHe did the wrong thing, but at least he confessed.
ReplyDeleteI think he shouldn't had told on himself if he was gonna make it this far . I would rather be successful , that a liar . Thats just my opinion .
ReplyDeleteYou know, even though he did make some stupid (And I Mean STUPID) I think that we should forgive him. After all, he is human and that is ok. Everyone makes mistakes. The only flaw with my point of view is that he lied about the problem.
ReplyDeleteI am really surprised with him confessing the truth. I am also disappointed that the lied about taking drugs in order to win. He disappointed thousands of people. I think what he did was really wrong and I wonder what made him say the truth? there had to be something bothering him in order to say what had really happened.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you on this, I also wonder what made him confess.
DeleteUm he did what he did but it was so wrong he cheated on his behalf and he led his team to 7 titles with the drugs he use it was bad and he knew it.But this was a big thing because he shouldnt of told on him self.
ReplyDeleteBefore this, I didn't even think he took performance enhancing drugs, but now that he admitted it I'm sure there are many people out there that are disappointed who supported him.
ReplyDeleteWell, what he did was wrong...using drugs. People will be just disappointed in him for doing things that aren't right. At the same time, he should be glad that he confessed. Everyone makes mistake and I'm sure that people know that, in the end people should forgive him.
ReplyDeleteWHAT? I'm actually surprised that he used drugs. I know that a lot of NFL players, or celebrities use drugs, but why did it have to be him? I know he was wrong in using those drugs, but at least he came out clean. I think what would be right for him to do is to start over and fix all the damage he has done...

ReplyDeleteLance Armstrong the first time I heard about him was when I watched the movie Dodge-ball about 5 years ago. I searched him up two years ago and found out about the Tour de' France and found out he was the best, later on I heard that he lived in Austin and I got excited that some day I would have the opportunity to meet him. Now I just lost those feelings I had. He disappointed us, it's sad to see such great work (LIVESTRONG) go to nothing.
ReplyDeleteI don't know why people are making a big fuss about Lance and the doping scandal. I mean, it cant be worse than Mark McGuire, Sammy Sosa and Barry Bonds all admitting to have used steroids to break baseball records like Lance did to break cycling records. It is very dissapointing, though.
ReplyDeleteI think that Lance Armstrong should have not done drugs to win because that is unfair.

ReplyDeleteHonestly I still can't believe he took drugs . Out of all the prices he won , it's just very disappointing especially from someone who has become the most recognize athlete in the world . I just wonder if their going to take his bronze medal from him ? I'm in shock that he came clean with all his lies . That was a really DUMB thing for him to do . I rather be a looser than a liar .
ReplyDeleteI am surprise about this story. I am not happy that he lie to a lot of people. I think he did wrong be he also told the truth.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion what Lance Armstrong did was wrong, in using drugs during his cycling career.And now he is paying the price,he left down many people and he lost all his titles.

ReplyDeleteI think that it was pretty shady of Lance to take drugs and win the tour de France . But on the other hand he did admit what he did wrong unlike other athletes .

ReplyDeleteWow I never thought that someone supposedly all success would do something so wrong and even admit it on national TV it was really shocking and both feel happy and guilty because they took all of his awards away because of the incident.
ReplyDeleteI am really ashamed of Armstrong because everyone thought that he was such a great Athlete but the truth is that he was taking drugs while his cycling career . And that's really sad because he won so much medals that he didn't really deserve. But at least he told the truth on television.
ReplyDeleteI am glad he is at least being truthful, in other cases many don't admit to the use of drugs. I'm not too shocked about this because these days situations like these come out all the time. I am ashamed of having pride for "Livestrong". Although, I feel pity for Livestrong employees. Bad choice Armstrong!
ReplyDeleteLance Armstrong was wrong for using drug to win the tour to France 7 times. People are now starting to call Lance Armstrong's program " Liestrong". I personally think that was wrong for him to do that and hurt all the people by lieing to them that he didn't use any drugs. The person that came in last place deserves to get all the awards that Lance Armstrong won by cheating.!!
