Good article. Americans, especially the American media, have really placed a double standard when it comes to their sports heros using performance-enhancing drugs.
I think the latter part of the article (p2-p3) hit the nail on the head. Lance Armstrong has more credible allegations regarding his alleged drug usage than does home run king Barry Bonds or track star Marion Jones. Yet, the American public, and media, have chosen to believe that Barry Bonds is guilty and that Armstrong is innocent. All this, even in the light of the more numerous evidence and allegations against Lance Armstrong.
