09/03: Lance Armstrong, passport and visas,South Africa
Every country has its rules and regulations regarding entry into it's borders by visitors. Lance Armstrong tweeted that he did not have two blank pages in his passport and was thus unwelcome and that he had "encountered this kind of official before". What kind is that? The kind that do their job?
Lance, we are not a banana republic, and yes we know you are the world's most famous person and that we should be happy that you have come to our tracks, but rules are rules. The least you can do, is to adhere to the SAME rules (and worse!)that the USA require from THEIR visitors.
No doubt your embassy rushed to your aid because of who you are, but in the case of every other ORDINARY citizen, that person would have to adhere to the rules and be sent back home at their own expense.
