Guilty until proven innocent

This whole recent Lance Armstrong brouhaha makes me sick, so I can't even imagine what it is doing to him. First, remember that we are talking about 1999. Second, remember this.

The lab said it could not confirm that the positive results cited in L'Equipe were Armstrong's. It noted that the samples were anonymous, bearing only a six-digit number to identify the rider, and could not be matched with any one cyclist.

Third, remember this.

In his autobiography, "It's Not About the Bike," he said he was administered EPO during his chemotherapy treatment to battle cancer.

Being famous would suck. Being famous and the focus of insane jealousy would really suck. Being famous and the focus of insane jealousy from people who are willing to defame you in order to tear you down would really, really suck.
