Reading Brian Cookson's thoughts on potential redemption for Lance Armstrong I was struck by what a sensible and human approach he seems to be taking. It is hard in life not to draw comparisons between the treatment of high profile athletes when things go wrong. Lance Armstrong cheated in a big way and ended up losing all his titles, his sponsorships and was banned for life from competition. Oscar Pistorious killed his girlfriend, he was found guilty of culpable homicide and sentenced to five years in prison, they expect him to be out in ten months. Once he is released he would in theory be able to compete in 5 years time and could potentially be at the Tokyo Olympics. Lance didn't kill anyone, surely he deserves a break?
