For RealClearSports.com


Life is one disillusionment after another. We learn Tiger Woods is guilty of infidelities, and as we recover from the shock, we are told by Floyd Landis he indeed used illegal performance-enhancing drugs when he won the Tour de France in 2006. Oh, my.

After Landis a couple of years ago spent 300 pages insisting he was innocent of doping charges in his biography "Positively False: The Real Story of How I Won the Tour,'' one understands why the book originally priced at $24.95 is now available on Amazon for 45 cents.

Sounds like the book is still overpriced. It is sad to see someone who feels he needs to take everyone down with him. What surprises me is that we all seem to be shocked. Sports is the only area in life were we care who uses what. No One cares that actors use drugs to help them to perform. No one cares how many drugs a kid takes to do well in school or on exams. No one cares about the huge about of booze many of our leaders use. So why do we care about Sports figures. get a grip. Watching sports is escapist entertainment. Don't get me wrong, i love watching sports. i have no illusions that sports is all about the money. The real criminals are the folks who run the NCAA and suck the life out of college athletes. How is it that its ok for the NCAA Fat cats to get rich on the back of poor kids.
