It’s difficult to believe Rob Stutzman is truly offended by Lance Armstrong’s deception about his use of testosterone and erythropoietin (EPO). Stutzman has initiated a class-action lawsuit claiming he never would have purchased Armstrong’s book had he known the cyclist used steroids and PEDs. Of course, Stutzman didn’t seem to be bothered by his former boss’s use of steroids when he was the former deputy chief of staff for communications to Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Lance Armstrong Tells the Truth About Drugs and the Spirit of Sport
Lance Armstrong lied about doping. He finally admitted using erythropoietin (EPO), testosterone and blood transfusions. Athletes dope. Always have. Always will. And they lie about it. This is practically a prerequisite for participation in elite sports. The far bigger lie is the one perpetuated by anti-doping crusaders, by sports journalists, by fans and by the general public. It’s the notion that Armstrong’s doping was an aberration, an exception, an oddity in the world of sports. It is the romanticized vision of sports competition free of doping.

Whoopi Goldberg: Steroids May Have Caused Lance Armstrong’s Testicular Cancer
Whoopi Goldberg, an actress, comedian and the moderator of the daytime talk show The View on ABC, irresponsibly suggested that anabolic steroids may have caused Lance Armstrong’s testicular cancer in 1996. “Do the steroids cause cancer? That’s the question. Did [Lance Armstrong] get the cancer because of the steroids? If he was doing it for the thousand years that they say he was doing it, it’s quite possible,” claimed Goldberg.
