I studied for maybe two tests my whole life, and not for a long time, but I still got excellent grades compared to kids who studied twice as hard. Is that bullshit?

You missed the entire point of what I wrote. The point is that Armstrong DID NOT DESERVE TO WIN. He cheated. That’s why he ha been stripped of his titles. Natural talent or not, he cheated to get there. The people who came in second we’re robbed of the titles that they deserved from THEIR HARD WORK.
