Interesting logic. Dont uncover the lie because others will suffer for it? So because LAF does good, LA should get a free shot at breaking whatever rules and laws he wants? Well he might as well put an electric motor in his seat tube.

Yes, If Floyd Landis IS telling the truth it has the potential to hurt a lot of people who dont deserve the betrayal. The entire Livestrong mojo is based on faith, that the human spirit and will is strong enough to endure, that there is life after cancer. LA did it I can too, attitude. And it is a great message. However, you can build faith on a lie. LA has denied using controled, PE substances. If the truth is other than what he stated then he is the liar. He built his foundation upon the strength of his reputation and his achivments as a 7 time Tour De France champion. But, how many people would subscribe to that belief if it was the doping that caused his cancer? If Floyd is telling the truth the blame for the hurt should not fall on his shoulders, but on the person who is telling the lie and has proffited from it. As in dont shoot the messenger. Should we overlook the guilt of the perpetrator because the deception is so distasteful, so unpalatable that we can not accept that some one would stoop to such a level.
Do these pants make my butt look big?
No honey you look fantastic!
She already know she has a big ass, she wants you to lie to her so she can continue to lie to herself. Next week when she goes shopping for some new slacks and cant get into a size 12 the stuff will hit the fan. Does the lie really help or do any good? no, it just makes your life easyer, you dont have to be the Floyd and slap her in the face with reality.

If LAF is built on a lie then it should die, because the potential for the greater harm it will cause is far worse than any good it can bring.
