The Tour de France champion was stripped of his titles after admitting to doping in 2013.
on Saturday on Twitter. Armstrong’s own sporting legacy was tarnished after he admitted in 2013 to cheating with performance-enhancing drugs.The athlete seemed oblivious about his reputation as he weighed in on the ethics in a video with Olympian“Have we really come to a time and place where spirited debate is not only frowned upon, but feared?” he wrote in a tweet accompanying the video.
Lance Armstrong won seven Tour de France bike racing titles before admitting he used performance-enhancing drugs.“Where people’s greatest concern is being fired, shamed or cancelled?” he wondered. “As someone all too familiar with this phenomenon, I feel I’m uniquely positioned to have these conversations.”After Armstrong and Jenner suggested some transgender athletes have a competitive advantage over their cisgender peers, the internet pointed out the cyclist’s own history of bending the rules.
Responding to critics of his video in a reply to his own tweet, Armstrong tried to play devil’s advocate. “Is there not a world in which one can be supportive of the transgender community and curious about the fairness of Trans athletes in sport yet not be labeled a transphobe or a bigot as we ask questions?” he wrote. “Do we yet know the answers? And do we even want to know the answers?”
