When someone confides in you that they were sexually abused, and then you interpret some set of circumstances in your life so as to conclude that you should make the contents of that conversation public - and especially for the purpose of somehow undermining the credibility of the confider - you deserve whatever bad karma you generate.
Lance Armstrong's work with and support of his fellow cancer victims is remarkable and inspiring. And he may be the most remarkable athlete in history. If he indeed cleanly won 7 consecutive Tours de France against a field loaded with cheaters - even if he did so with the help of cheaters on his own team that he didn't know about (and this is what he has alleged when you couple his own denials with the admissions of his fellow riders) - all after his well-known battle against cancer, then he has been unjustly vilified by the anti-doping authorities and slandered by his fellow riders.
But even if all that is true, even if he is the most wrongfully maligned person since they crucified Jesus of Nazareth: Lance Armstrong will never be my confidant.
