Disgraced...

Lance Armstrong
In 1996, he was diagnosed with a potentially fatal metastatic testicular cancer. After his recovery, he founded the Livestrong Foundation to assist other cancer survivors.
Returning to cycling in 1998, he was a member of the US Postal/Discovery team between 1998 and 2005, when he won his Tour de France titles, as well as a bronze medal in the 2000 Summer Olympics.
The disgraced former cyclist agreed to pay the US government $5m and $1.65m to Landis after being accused of “actively concealing the [US Postal Service] team’s violations of the agreements’ anti-doping provisions”
Cyclingnews have revealed that Armstrong will have any accreditation request rejected due to his lifetime ban from cycling for doping, which saw him stripped of all seven Tour de France titles in what remains the biggest scandal ever seen in cycling.

فعدت ورأيت تحت الشمس ان السعي ليس للخفيف ولا الحرب للاقوياء ولا الخبز للحكماء ولا الغنى للفهماء ولا النعمة لذوي المعرفة لانه الوقت والعرض يلاقيانهم كافة.

A mail handler accused of robbing a bank on his day off from the U.S. Post Office has reportedly told FBI agents why he did it.
The SunSentinel reports that 40-year-old George Murillo told agents he's been in a "desperate financial situation" as the sole provider for two families, that of his ex-wife and his girlfriend.

Court documents show Murillo's ex-wife told him she would be evicted if he didn't pay the rent. But he had just spent his money on a car and a gun for his girlfriend, and decided his only option was to rob  Bank of America.

GPS-tracking device in the money led to his arrest.  A judge ordered him held in jail.
Go to jail for loving a woman or two... that is...!

Did any war we had helped any one to get ahead?

If we hadn't been in Iraq, Syria, and Libya would the outcome be that much misery we have today. Is the area safer today?

War sets us back as human.  Just a thought.
