Somehow I find it hard to believe Lance cheated. I didn't go through all the reports or investigation but sometimes I think the past team mates who testified he cheated only did this to get back at Lance. Because during his whole career he never got caught cheating. It gets too expensive to continually fight allegations that you cheated so I guess Lance gave up. I guess know he's gonna be a poor man, and even Trek dropped support for him.

So Lance lost the most.

I really suggest reading up on the evidence. You don't even need to dig that far to just finding darn near ironclad proof. For this to be 100% slander (or is it defemation I get those confused) it would have to be a vast amount of conspiracy and coincidences. I can almost gurantee your opinion would change with more resarch/facts should you be receptive.

Lance, hands down. Tiger had affairs, Lance lost 7 Tour De France titles. Tiger has not regained the same standing but by all accounts won his championships fair and square.

Yes, Lance.

Tiger's failures were personal...not related, to my knowledge, to his sport.

Lance's failures were professional. Well wait, personal too....such a lack of integrity is the most offensive of qualities. And think of all the kids (and others) who have held him in high regard... they must be extremely disappointed. And it all for money and fame.

He truly is a failure in every sense of the word.

Lance Armstron'gs actions were far worse: threatened other people and stole money from USPS (fraud), Nike, other corporations.

Tiger cheated on his wife/children. He really only needs to answer to his family. Did have endorsements w/ a lot of corporations, so in a way, lost money for them, but really didn't break any laws.

Armstrong committed crimes and flat out lied/cheated. He's a dirtbag and embarrassed his team and his country.

But the "fall" was bigger for TW who was on the top of the golf world at the time and lost pretty much everything.

Default Lance, easy

Lance without question. He's the "John Edwards" of cycling, worse even. Simply a disgraceful, low-class human being.
