Lance brought shame to Armstrongs

There are nearly 10 ‘Armstrongs’ who are well known for their excellence in various fields. Three most prominent ones are from America. From these, two Armstrongs brought fame and glory and the odd one disgrace and shame.
Let me start with Neil Armstrong the first man to walk on the moon, and who passed away on Aug. 25, 2012. He was an aerospace engineer, naval aviator, test pilot and university professor; and he will be remembered forever.
The other Armstrong who comes to my mind is Luis Armstrong, nicknamed Satchmo the great, who left this world on July 6, 1971. He was a jazz trumpeter and singer with an extraordinary voice, and no one could even imitate him. His ever green hit numbers ‘What a wonderful world’, ‘When the Saints go marching in’ and ‘Hello, Dolly’ are still haunting the jazz fans. However, there is one Armstrong I want to take off from my mind is also from America, who brought disgrace and shame. He is none other than Lance Armstrong who got the dubious honor of becoming the first ‘sportsman’ to face a bonfire in a town in Kent. He cheated his fellow competitors and the officials seven times in a row to win the Tour de France with his “drug power.”
In the meantime, I pay my tribute to many other good Armstrongs, who earned fame in the field of sports, literature and music, some of whom I still remember and they are; Kary Armstrong, Billie Joe Armstrong, Gay Armstrong, Dido Armstrong, B.J. Armstrong and Roland Armstrong but sorry, Lance Armstrong is no more in my book! — S.H. Moulana, Riyadh
