In the article "Give Lance another chance?" by CNN they bring to light that some people think that cyclist Lance Armstrong should have another chance at cycling. He recently was proved guilty of cheating with steroids. Some people think he should get another chance for admitting it, but some think he shouldn't have cheated at all and shouldn't get another chance.

This article includes quotes from many different people. Some people think he still has a chance to redeem himself because he's done so many good things also. Something that stood out is that they said he's too old to get another chance. It's shocking because it's never too late to get another chance.

I think Lance shouldn't get another chance because he was accused of it and he denied it and threw shots at them. Before I read this I thought he should get another chance but now he shouldn't because he denied it and wasted other people's time. I think this is an important topic because steroids and other HGH's are a big topic in many sports. A possible solution is to do a test before every big race for banned substances.

This article makes me wonder about things. Something is if you're competing and you think you have to cheat to win, quit and give somebody else a chance who's confident in themselves. If you're an athlete and you compete on a global level you should have confidence in your own ability. Why don't they have confidence in themselves?
