In CNN's article "Give lance another chance" CNN talks on if people around the world from fans to the cyclist community should forgive Lance for cheating and if it was necessary for lance to be banned from professional cycling forever.There are people who thinks is apology is phony and his actions were unacceptable. Roxanne Jones are one of these people. When asked her opinion Jones states "Lance Armstrong, who maliciously lied for more than a decade, who I watched from my sideline seat in sports try to crush the voice of anyone who dared to call him a cheater. No, he gets no second chance from me." This shows that Roxanne doesn't believe that there should be a come back for Armstrong. Others around the world that says Lance should get another chance. "Lance Armstrong's story of triumph over adversity captured the imagination of millions around the world, including people like me, who don't usually spend a lot of time absorbed in following sports news. That's because Armstrong's achievements -- recovering from cancer and then breaking records in the cycling world -- made him a source of inspiration, an icon of hope." says Frida Ghitis. I think Lance should get another chance, he took drugs because of cancer. Everyone cheats in their life and people just over exaggerated it, people need to get over it and if not lance forget about it
