Would You Rather be Tiger or Lance Armstrong?

Tiger cheated on his wife. Having him apologize publicly for something that really was between him and his wife was stupid to me. It's no one elses business. He's not the first person to cheat on a spouse and won't be the last.
Lance cheated on his "job". I feel bad for the guys who came in second place. They lost their chance for recognition, endoresments, and anything else that comes with winning.

I have to agree with Pretty-in-Pink. Tiger's issue is between him and his spouse. Lance's entire career is based on a lie.

Ya act like these guys have done something not common to humanity. One cheated on his wife how cliche is that? Thats common for people who's career has them traveling. Married folks cheating is not a foreign concept.

Pro sports and juicing go hand in hand. Just recently it was baseball player who were outed. Here is a news flash for ya, thats common too. So we make a big deal out of it when we have placed some one on a pedestal, and they fail us and our expectations. Like this football player with the fake girl friend. He let down a bunch of folks because he is human and failed for reasons we dont understand.

All of the folks that are being so hurt over this stuff should re evaluate their priorities. These matter are for those who have legal contracts with those guys. Not the so called fans. The fans should get a grip on reality, and not have such expectations of others. An expectation is prelude to a let down. These guys are just humans like every other jackass out there. They are gonna do dumb stuff. The greater the height the greater the fall.

Well said locopony!
I like this comment too from swhipple:

I honestly feel sorry for Lance. I know he was cheating but honestly doping in cycling is like speeding the highway, everyone does it to one degree or another. Lance was only doing what he needed to do to be good at his job. I know my opinion won't be popular but I think the sanctions against him went way to far. I mean everyone in the sport was doping and he was still the best. They'll have to go so far down the list of finishers to find someone clean that they might as well just give me the win!

I've been a bike geek all my life but I ride for fun. Pro cycling is a different world. I've watched some races but I couldn't care less about it really.
I guess I'd rather be Tiger. I think I could get used to the golf lifestyle pretty easy. 8)
