Today I am here to present the simple question: should athletes have their awards and endorsements taken away after being caught with performance enhancing drugs? During my facilitation I will present the story of an Olympic sprinter who came under the scrutiny of the press and fans for being caught taking such illegal substances. This athlete is Olympic gold medalist Kelli White. She was stripped of prize money and her medals, after she held a press conference stating her side of the story?

If you get caught cheating on the things that got you the awards, endorsements, etc. for - then yes, it should all be stripped away. I think a morals clause would be a welcomed addition to sports contests...
Speaking of morals, or lack there of. Vick took a plea deal and is submitting a statement of facts that will include the admission of strangulation, drowning, electrocuted, bludgeoning among other acts to animals. I sincerely hope this poor excuse for a human being goes to jail for the full 5 years not the 12 to 18 months like the media is suggesting. I do not understand how someone can possess the kind of cruelty this guy has admitted to.
Phil Knight decides to give a $100 million to Oregon but not PSU - what's up with that???
