After the year of sporting events we have seen not only in the UK but across the world we should be in a period of jubilation and have an ecstatic sense of pride towards our athletes and teams. But sadly I feel there is a dark cloud currently hanging over it all.
Like me, there are hundreds of millions of sports fans all over the world, each with their own preferences and opinions, favourite teams and idolised athletes. We believe in them, support them and urge them to win. We cry with them, get into heated debates for them and are there through it all. So when I previously wrote the article What happened to innocent before proven guilty for Lance Armstrong? I had an allegiance to one of my favourite sportsmen. Up until this time there had been varying opinions from many, results that couldn’t prove without any doubt and statements that were coming under fire. I believed him, wanted to believe him and felt strongly in my opinion that those who are up against matters of this kind should still be treated as innocent until proven guilty.
