He doped/cheated. So did everyone else in cycling.

He lied about it. So did everyone else in cycling.

When he got caught, he denied it. So did everyone else in cycling.

When called to task for it, he used every option available to him the harass, threaten, and smear his accusers. Okay, maybe not like everyone else in cycling, but few have ever had nearly as much to lose as Armstrong did.

It doesn’t excuse him. It doesn’t make him a “good guy”. i just don’t think he’s the dastardly villain he’s being portrayed as — just no better or worse than every other cheat in the sport, who reacted in proportion to what he stood to lose. Frankly, the best punishment is for everyone to ignore him.

Armstrong needs to pay back the millions in sponsorship dollars he stole from the US Postal Service or go to prison for fraud.

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.

He’s a freakin’ liberal so he’s guilty of being devastating to our country from within!

Hang the POS!

I have a pretty low tolerance level for folks who continually wag their finger at me while lying through their teeth.
