Lonely dissent is a scary business. Someone always has to start first, and people most often don't like to be - or feel - different. Can't be a celebrity, either: people start to think funny when it comes to someone on the pedestal - as if their personal ideal has been broken and not worthy of regarding any longer. I believe this happened to Lance Armstrong after he admitted taking... some sort of drugs that enhanced his performance.
