Lance Armstrong is a lying, cheating, bully. He's committed perjury, fraud and who knows what else. He should be jailed not defended by people on internet forums.

Every nation has its cheats, but Team USA appear to have a systemic problem similar to the East Germans in the 70s. Maybe Team USA should be thrown out of the next Olympics.

I wonder which iconic athlete will be next in the dock? I know who my money is on...

Actually, the Tour de France is a total team sport. Lance would never have won 7 times w/out the best team in cycling. His gregarios literally pulled him up the mountain. He was the best, the strongest, but he still needed his guys to get him to Paris.

Lance Armstong lied and cheated. That's obvious. But doping has been rampant on the Tour for years. SEE THIS NYTIMES article highlighting how 1/3 of all Top 10 finishers in the Tour over the past decade have been TIED TO DOPING.

I'm disappointed that Lance lied, but he and his rivals were ALL doping. He's not special. Except he maybe cheated better than everyone else.

True, cycling indeed is a "team" sport, but it promotes a single winner. There's the team trophy, but thats a secondary one. As for "all" doping that's not true. The top 10? Probably so. But the other 100 or so contestants that didn't use drugs, those are the real Heroes. Unfortunately they won't be on the history books because of these professional liars/frauds/cheaters.

I guess it's not just US athletes, Lionel Messi was clearly on something when he picked this suit out of the wardrobe...
