Dishonest Athletes

So Lance Armstrong has finally decided to come clean? It seems like there are so many dishonest athletes out there, instead of having the dishonest folks come clean, how about having the honest athletes come forward and claim their victories? Where ae the Walter Payton's and Emmitt Smith's of this generation? Lance Armstrong was such a smuck because not only did he lie about using steroids, he even had the nerve to sue the British newspapers who claimed it years ago and he won a half million dollar judgement against them. How come none of the people who have recently come forward, spoke up back then? Why were they protecting him? Speaking up is never easy, but I just believe its always better to show courage than to be a freaking coward and cover up bullshit.
