Hero Takes A Fall

Yes, these words are the title of the old Bangles song:

But this thread is about people you, or others you knew, once admired and no longer do. Examples:

Sammy Sosa-once beloved in Chicago, but hs star fell after he became too much a prima donna, interested in his own glory rather than bringing his team (the Chicago Cubs) to victory. He took steroids, he used an illegal corked bat in a game (which shattered), he alienated his teammates, and now he is a pariah instead of a hero.

Lance Armstrong-a relatively similar story.

Anyone you can name?
