Lance Armstrong a famous bicyclist, was winning so many races that he seamed superhuman. He set a world recored by winning the Tour de France seven times. Other cyclists, journalists and prosecutors started thinking that his performance really was superhuman. It was superhuman because he was using illegal drugs to win.
Tyler Hamilton who was Armstrong’s teammate got caught using illegal performance-enhancing drugs. He told prosecutors that Lance Armstrong was using those drugs as well. The United States Anti-doping Agency said that Lance Armstrong was using the performance enhancing drug called EPO. They also say that they have their own blood samples to prove it. Now he is loosing all of his metals and he can not race again for the rest of his life. Instead of being a hero Mr. Armstrong became a different kind of example: To try to win by cheating is even worse than plain losing.
