Apologies

Hardly a week goes by that some athlete or sports personality isn't apologizing, but few come close to the level of wrongdoing that Lance Armstrong finally admitted to in an interview with Oprah Winfrey. In acknowledging that he used performance-enhancing drugs to win the Tour de France, Armstrong said: "It's a major flaw, and it's a guy who expected to get whatever he wanted and to control every outcome. And it's inexcusable. And when I say there are people who will hear this and never forgive me, I understand that. I do. ... That defiance, that attitude, that arrogance, you cannot deny it."
