Who Killed Santa?

What is happening in sports these days? Barry Bonds who just broke the most coveted record in American history uses steroids, Two teams and the race leader of the Tour de France were kicked out of the race for failing drug tests and cheating. And the worst part is t these cowards don’t have the stones to admit they cheated, I think very little of Jose Conseco but at least he can admit and be a man about cheating. Intregrity has been removed from the sporting world and replaced by greed.

I feel betrayed as a fan, especially a fan of cycling. When Alexander Vinokoruv crashed the first week of the Tour De France everyone thought he was done, he lost tons of time and gained over 60 stitches. Then when he won a time trial everyone thought it was amazing, later that week he won a mountain stage where he went on a solo breakaway. Two days later he tested positive for blood doping. Its betrayal to the fans, look at the men as super-human figures that have the ability to bounce back. We want to see amazing comebacks and believe a man with 60 stitches in his knees and arms can drop and pack of world-class competitors, or a man in his late 30’s can hit 756 homeruns. When they cheat it cheapens sports and crushes fans such as myself. It is much like finding out Santa is not real, but a cheater.
