Armstrong & Mahathir
Harry Truman and Tunku Abdul Rahman are analogous. Upon completing his presidential term, Truman stepped out of the White House, took a train, and went home. When Tunku stepped down as Prime Minister of Malaysia, a friend paid his taxes because he was broke. They both drew government pensions until they died. They were rare examples of politicians who drew only power , rather than wealth, from their craft. Lance Armstrong and Mahathir Mohamed are analogous. Despite bagging seven Tours, Armstrong came out of a cushy retirement for his eighth at the prodding of his sponsors. He was back for one last job, which, incidentally, retired robber barons are known to itch for. The thing is, Armstrong denied a disgraced ex-teammate, Floyd Landis, a place in his team. In response, a spurned Landis, who knew where the bodies were buried, spilled the beans on Armstrong's 20-year doping history, which unraveled his legacy. Safe to assume Armstrong regrets coming out for that, one last job. &qu
