Lance Armstrong Faces Loss of Titles
What's the author's purpose?
To inform the public of the controversy regarding Lance Armstrong and the accusations of illegal drug use.
Does the author accomplish his/her purpose?
Yes, the articles gives plenty information about the evidence and statements by the USADA and Armstrong.
What ideas do you agree with?
I agree with what Lance said about the "process" being "so one-sided," and don't blame him for wanting to be "finished with this nonsense."
What ideas do you disagree with?
I disagree with he statement "Lance's story..is a cop-out; he is afraid of the overwhelming evidence against him.."
What do you not understand?
I don't understand why a recent failed drug test would effect the many passed during the Tours.
What connections can you make with the text?
I just want to know how many athletes are unfairly accused, and how much more heat you get when you are just that much better than your competition.
How can I become a more active participant in my learning; how can I take more responsibility for my learning?
Use the tools my teachers give me to reach my full potential; by listening well in class and completing my homework correctly and punctually.
