The one "honorable thing" about Lance's behavior is that he never (to my knowledge) provided information to take down a fellow competitor. Even today. He spoke about the play-the-game-or-go-home environment of the peloton, but never speaks specifically about another rider's choices. Well maybe Mr. Landis is an exception. |

Once he was retired and under investigation, pretty much everyone he knew about had already been busted or had turned on him.

well, I suppose it all comes down to a moral question and how you see the world...lots of feelings on all sides via that minefield...my guess is his point is going thru all of that has made him face himself and grow as a person...I have no idea if that is true and to be honest could care less...if he has, more power to him...but given his past constant bs talk, sounds like just more self bs and convincing himself...that's his call, like with anyone else via self honesty...the guy was never the brightest bulb on the tree anyhow...real glad tho he made a ton on Uber as that really changes my day...

Don't forget to add Tom Simpson to the list. Guy DIED while doped to the gills. M |

I don't think Pantani had Lance's personality or tried to destroy people. But yes, he does seem to get a bit of a pass as far as doping is concerned.

Lance Who?
I long ago stopped having any interest in that person or anything he is associated with. While he may have historical relevance, he holds zero standing for me otherwise. |

Except for posting on cycling forums. Other than that you have zero interest in the guy.

It seems like it goes without saying that he wouldn't change anything. Although, if it were possible to change things, he probably shouldn't have tried to come back. In retrospect that was his undoing. But consider someone like A-Rod, who made a buttload of money while doping and really never paid a price. Does anyone imagine he has any regrets?

I think you're right. I think Armstrong retired too early because things were closing in on him wrt doping. If he didn't come out of retirement, he probably would have passed under the radar. What about Bjarne Reese? He admitted to doping many years later and his TDF victory wasn't stripped. Seems to me Armstrong was made an example of and other dopers either skated by or were treated much more leniently. |

There are some who would excuse riders who may have felt forced to use drugs, and instead blame the team owners managers who coerced riders into using PEDs, and I tend to agree with this. But people forget that Armstrong wasn't just a rider - he was also a team owner and manager, who coerced riders to use PEDs and in some cases supplied them to the riders. |
