That this issue is infinitesimally unimportant compared to what goes on in the real world all the time. Worse, it distracts people from things that matter much more -- even in sports. We need to work on getting the present in better shape before going after stuff like this in the past with such zeal. The reality of most historical figures is typically much less impressive than what is portrayed in the popular media.

If you want my prediction on this, I think Lance is screwed because they can't stop now. Undoubtedly some results will be "corrected." But the damage was already done. The people who were wronged will stay wronged. Lance will still be a zillionaire. The barn door is being slammed long after the horses have run out. The only people who will win are the ones collecting money for working on the investigation and promoting the circus.
