Winners are special. They prove, with their own grit and determination, that hard work pays. One such winner was American professional road racing cyclist Lance Armstrong, the winner of seven consecutive Tour de France, a prestigious cycling race for men. Notice how we used the word 'was' a winner instead of 'is'? That's because on January 18, 2013, the now 49-years-old sportsman admitted that he doped his way to victory on what is now an iconic interview with American talk show host Oprah Winfrey. When Oprah asked the disgraced cyclist if he had cheated, he said, "I went and looked up the definition of cheat. And the definition is to gain an advantage on a rival or foe. I didn't view it that way. I viewed it as a level playing field." Let that sink in.
To no one's surprise, Armstrong was stripped of his tour titles and had to leave the charity he had founded for cancer, Livestrong. But the most severe punishment of all was a lifetime ban.
