2. Lance Armstrong
For a while it seemed everyone was wearing those yellow wrist bands that read LIVE STRONG, a popular marketing strategy to publicize Lance Armstrong’s cancer foundation. Armstrong was as well known for this as he was for an unbelievable 7 Tour de France wins. You don’t see them anymore and it’s probably because he has been exposed as a cheater and a pathological liar. He bullied and threatened the other members of his cycling team to keep quiet about the massive drug use and equally massive efforts to conceal it and thwart drug testing efforts. Lance Armstrong’s unprecedented string of victories after surviving cancer seemed to good to be true, even at the time, but people wanted to believe in him so they did.
