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.
