Maybe the competition that Lance won is he was the most successful cheater in the history of the sport where the other guys weren't as good at cheating. The guys that lost at cheating are now saying that the guy who everybody thinks doesn't cheat, does. What do they have to lose now their lives have been ruined as mentioned previously?

Another view of this debacle at the end of the day...maybe the public good of livestrong is more important than if cyclists cheat. So bringing down Lance which may bring down the good that livestrong does may not be worth the tradeoff. As to Lance's rational. We all know he is ruthless. You can't go into the backyard of Europe and dominate their coveted cycling event without being that way. The guy is the ultimate competitor and surviver. He has another fight on his hands and if anybody has a chance of winning, its him.
