[CASL-L] FW: Interesting Question

[Kristie McGarry]

I should clarify Geri -- The biography is an inspirational memoir about his recovery from cancer -- the inspirational aspect is drawn largely from his accomplishments as a competitive cyclist --hence the correlation with the performance enhancing drugs --

Unless there is an assertion that the use of performance-enhancements is linked to cancer survival, I don't see the correlation.

Good Morning Librarians -

I am debating removing from our collection this title: Lance Armstrong: My Journey Back to Life.

I would welcome a discussion about the pros/cons of removing from the shelves this book about Lance Armstrong's triumph over cancer given that he was recently stripped of all of his medals for using performance enhancing drugs during this same time. Any thoughts?

Kristie
