On Lance Armstrong

His seven Tour De France victories struck from the record though he won't be forgot
The  U S cycling governing body says he is a drug cheat Lance Armstrong says he is not
It is not up to me to say he is or is not a  drug cheat
But seven Tour De France overall wins is a remarkable feat

Like Michelle De Bruin the Olympic Swimming champion before him he  never failed a drug test
And he did seem unbeatable when he was at his best
And though his likes as a cyclist we may not see again
The doubts cast on him till death with him will remain

Though he never failed a drug test his seven Tour De France wins from him taken away
By the cycling governing body of his own Country the U S of A
In the man who conquered cancer to win seven Tour De France's there is so much to admire
But on his cycling triumphs many will tell you there is no smoke without fire

The evidence  of drug use on Lance Armstrong does grow
But whether he is guilty or not only he himself does  know
And whether he is or is not a drug cheat
Seven Tour De France wins is a remarkable feat.
