Alex Schwazer

Gold medal-winning race walker Alex Schwazer

Alex Schwazer was an Olympic Race Walker Champion. He won a gold medal due to his victory and was very happy with himself. However, his accomplishments were taken away from him when he confessed that he used drugs to help him win the race. He said he just couldn't take it anymore, he didn't want to live with the guilt of winning unfairly. Alex knew he was choosing the wrong by doing so and did he right things and told everyone the truth. He did the wrong thing by using drugs in the first places, but decided to make things better. It’s not easy admitting you are wrong, but I respect him for recognizing his mistakes and wanted to start all over.
