Lance Armstrong can't get cheating out of his system

LOS ANGELES TIMES

Lance Armstrong continues to introduce himself as a seven-time Tour de France champion despite being stripped of his titles by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency. Other sports cheaters have been ostracized, so why not Armstrong?

A week later, he's still cheating.
A week after Lance Armstrong was stripped of his seven Tour de France titles by a drug agency with an Alps' worth of evidence against him, Armstrong lined his first public appearance with more deceit.

 
Speaking in front of the World Cancer Congress in Montreal on Wednesday, Armstrong introduced himself thusly:
"My name is Lance Armstrong. I am a cancer survivor. I'm a father of five. And, yes, I won the Tour de France seven times."
The first part of his introduction is an honorable legacy. The last part is a lie. The real sadness here is that Armstrong no longer seems to understand the difference. And, frankly, you have to wonder if America does, either.
