- My Hero is Lance Armstrong Why?: Regardless of dopeing. To ride and win that many TDF is not easy. To win is to take advanof your opponent. They all did this. But LA won 7 Times. Suggested by: Randy Mayfield (August 2017)
- My Hero is Lance Armstrong Why?: Lance did what he had to do to win just like everyone else. It wasn't a Lance Armstrong problem, it was a cycling problem....probably still is. He suffered like everyone else and was better. Any man that suffers as he did and wins deserves respect. Problem is, most people don't know what to respect anymore. Submitted Devin (March 2017)
- Can we all agree that Mr. Armstrong should be removed from any "Heroes" list? His most significant "acheivements" in sports have been formally stripped by the governing bodies. His "character" rating is now admitted to be so significantly in negative territory that it essentially invalidates ANY positive ratings in any criterion. "How does he rate in his actions as a role model?" Not at all. Sad, but true. (from P. Mann, Jan 2013)
- He is not a hero. He is a drug addict ... Take him away from the list. (from Henrik, Oct 2012)
