Lance Armstrong, Manti T’eo, more Lance Armstrong and Livestrong fallout, Bonds, Clemens and the MLB Hall of Fame…the list will inevitably continue to grow. Providing some perspective to the many bylines of these stories for sports enthusiasts, fans, and even the casual observer is of particular interest to Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Rockford College, Shawn Klein, Ph.D., who teaches courses about ethics in sports and authors The Sports Ethicist blog. Dr. Klein was contacted by CNN.com to provide comment for their opinion roundup this week, Give Lance another chance?, evidence that whether a cycling enthusiast or not, this story has garnered the interest of the nation.
It’s a safe bet that there will be plenty more to say on the topic of ethics in sport and a few more fallen idols left in its path.
