REED ALBERGOTTI AND VANESSA O'CONNELL HAVE DONE a bang-up job of investigative reporting as to why Lance Armstrong----after 15 years of doping, drugs, deceit with massive threats and recriminations to whistle blowers----finally decided to come clean and squeal on himself with Oprah. Today's WSJ has the piece Behind Lance Armstrong's Decision To Talk and it's well, well worth reading. If the interviews left you speechless, you'll be struck dumb after this.
The reporters shed light on motivation and timing behind Lance's confession. I'll be back later with the few comments on this disgraceful and embarassing story of pride, hubris, arrogance, and self-delusion that evidently know no bounds. God can redeem Lance and his past and I pray that happens. Meanwhile, he's a fallen dead man living in a culture that idolizes fame, fortune, power and self-adulation. None of us can claim we haven't been there. Only by the Grace of God can we not stay there.
