In early 2013, Lance Armstrong admitted to taking banned substances, which he once denied taking, while being interviewed on the Oprah Winfrey show. This confession led to national outrage as his miracle story of overcoming cancer and continuing his Olympic career was now considered one big lie. His mistakes are obvious in that he should not have lied about doping. Not only does Armstrong face personal humiliation, but he is also facing the disappearance of his sponsorship deals and the humility of having to walk away from his self-founded charity Livestrong. Armstrong has lost immense amounts of money as sponsors including Nike, Trek Bicycles and Giro have all ended their affiliation with the former cyclist.

The repercussions behind Lance Armstrong’s lies not only affect him, but also all the people that viewed him as a role model. This once amazing story that gave people with cancer motivation is now tarnished forever.
