>Lance Armstrong, well-known cyclist with lots of charity work fighting cancer, now known to be a drug cheat.

Are you really equating Lance Armstrong with a guy who likely sexually abused hundreds of children? That's idiotic.

You realize that what Armstrong did wasn't a crime, right? Just against some arbitrary rules of some form of sports entertainment (a bicycle race!)? And that the treatments he undertook are perfectly legal in the real world? And that they may have even helped his recovery from cancer, in one way or another?

You hate charity. We get it. But I'll take the work of Bill Gates and Lance Armstrong over whatever it is the armchair pundits around the internet are doing, all day.
