We had hubris and now we have nemesis.
I can appreciate wanting anyone who has done something wrong punished, and I really don't know the details, but come on snoop, this is sports not war or international relations. Maybe that's just me, I don't take sports or athletes very seriously but still...
With snoop in the role of the immortal Sir Humphrey Appleby, showing off his Classics education. 
Quote from Wikipedia:
"In Greek mythology, Nemesis (Greek, Νέμεσις) (...) was the spirit of divine retribution against those who succumb to hubris (arrogance before the gods)."
In other words, the "nemesis" was justified in the context of the "hubris".
Well far be it from me to criticize anyone for using the old form, God knows I do that myself in fairly extreme fahsion at times so I won't be a hypocrite
More generally, while I don't really agree with snoop on the topic, I don't agree that he's taking it too seriously (but then, I'm from Belgium, where cycling is practically a religion).
It's somewhere down around 10-20 on the list of sports Americans give a damn about, probably in a loose tie with Lacrosse and somewhere behind beach volleyball but above women's golf. I'm entirely willing to acknowledge Armstrong might be a bully and doper, no skin off my teeth, I just have difficulty imagining how anyone could be that passionate about it as an observer. I'm not really a sports person though
The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.

I don't think 'nemesis' is a term that should be used regarding sporting events

Why? And "because Lance says so" isn't a valid argument, neither is "they have too much evidence"
