I judge Roland by his statement after the incident where he stated he'd do it again!
Granted he is a great athlete, but to be exceptional, you must do what is right even off the bike!
If you would have graciously stepped off the podium and handed his medal back to the 2nd place finisher (Seamus McGrath I believe) then he would have earned my respect!
