Here are several previous posts from  2013 on Lance Armstrong

A University of Glasgow Professor takes a look at the body language Lance Armstrong expressed on the first night of his interview with Oprah. I have said as much the same thing but interesting to hear someone outside this country with an academic opinion. 

Again the second segment airs at 8 CST tonite, I hope the ethics students are watching. 

In contrast, dogs are loyal.  As Harry Truman remarked about Washington DC, if you want a friend in this town, get a dog.

Dorothy Rabinowitz  takes a look at Lance Armstrong. Ms. Rabinowitz is a long time member of the WSJ Editorail Board. 

WE will be discussing Lance's attempt at redemption in the Ethics class this next saturday.

Do you care what Lance Armstrong did?

I mentioned in a post yesterday  the FDA investigation into Lance Armstrong. This of course takes lots of time and money. As Business Insider asks in the hyperlink, do you really want the FDA spending time and money on this?

A big controversy is the length of time FDA takes to approve drugs as well as the denial of potential life saving drugs here in the US that are available elsewhere. So what is the FDA doing, investigating baseball players an cyclists. Isn't that a job for the Commissions that rule baseball and cycling? Vote your opinion at the hyperlink.
