Lance stole and cheated his way to fame & fortune.

If there were any non-doping cyclist, he did indeed steal what should rightfully be theirs by his cheating.

He defrauded sponsors & charities to the tune of multi-millions.

If only Lance had hired Rusty Hardin like Roger Clemens.

Not likely. If he had not cheated and therefore not won, it is much more than likely that the winner would have been another doping cyclist, not a non-doping cyclist.

Lance won because he had enormous native talent and immense drive, plus he was apparently the king of doping.

It is probable he would not have won as much, possibly not at all, without doping, since the competition was mostly cheating, too. But it is also entirely possible that in a clean field he would have won just as much as he did while doping against a dirty field.

The tragedy of this is that we will never know.
