Lance Armstrong and King Sisyphus by Kevin E. Dayhoff http://tinyurl.com/cctpxp2

Last Thursday, the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency decided, without
a single credible shred of evidence, that since professional cyclist Lance
Armstrong did not prove himself to be innocent, he is guilty and could not have
been successful in his storied career without the use of drugs.
Before Mr. Armstrong retired from professional cycling in
February 2010, he had passed approximately 500 drug tests in his long,

“There’s something very much of the feel of a witch hunt to
this. If Armstrong was doping, then by God take away his awards and give him a

… we live in an era where the purpose of government is to
criminalize the successful. Whether you are successful in business, art,
professional sports – or whatever, the basic tenant of government is that you
simply must be guilty of something. The purpose of bureaucracy is to prove it.
Whether you are guilty or not is unimportant. For the
government, what is critical is that you be accused. That’s all that is
necessary. The media will take care of the rest – by suggestion, innuendo, and
nefarious association.
Your job is to endeavor to prove that you are innocent. It
is a task that makes the myth of Sisyphus look easy.
You remember Sisyphus. There are many interpretations and
versions of the story – including my favorite, “The Myth of Sisyphus” by Albert
Camus… http://www.thetentacle.com/ShowArticle.cfm?mydocid=5314
