The article “Give Lance another chance?” by CNN is about weather are not lance Armstrong should get a second chance for lining to people and using drugs to help him win the cycling races. People have been debating if he should be forgive and get a second or what he did was on forgivable and he does not deserve a second chance. Many of his fans who look to him for inspiration do believe that he deserves a second  chance to prove that he is truly sorry and to make right what he has done wrong. Frida Ghitis stated, “Armstrong still has a second chance to redeem himself.” For those to who where fans but now feels lied to and hurt by the lies Lance told say he does deserve a second chance and should not get one. Roxanne Jones states, “No, he gets no second chance from me. There are too many ways to question his apology.”  Some people think it’s just a front for him to get out of paying back large amount of money to sponsors he defrauded. Lance Armstrong’s may are may not be sincere, but the fact is that he has done something terrible wrong and people are upset with the lies he told and his decision to keep it going for over a decade. Even though he has touched hearts and is an icon for hope and a source of inspiration his motive was wrong and his choice to use drugs in making his dreams come true was wrong and it will take some time for people  to forgive him.
