LANCE ARMSTRONG

We have a new allegation about Lance Armstrong. Tyler Hamilton is going on 60 minutes on CBS to state that Armstrong used performance enhancing drugs. He says he saw him shoot up. I don’t know and really don’t care if this is true. My problem is that Hamilton is writing a book and now he comes forward with something he said he saw in the 1990’s. Dan Patrick is a sports announcer and talk show host. His logic is that it just makes sense that he is guilty because all those other guys got caught. So the logic goes Armstrong must be guilty too. When he is presented with the fact that Armstrong has had at least 500 hundred drug tests and has passed them all, this is ignored with the simple argument that Sammy Sosa never failed a test. No logic to that. Sosa never took many tests. Innocent until proven guilty is a concept this country was supposed to be built on. Sports personalities don’t seem to have that presumption.
