[MENTION=418370]canklecat[/MENTION] says, in effect, that indirectly, Lance made him do drugs.
What higher condemnation can there be?
I wholly agree about the court system, the legal system ... i can no longer bring myself to call it the "justice" system" .......
I was a huge lance fan, and even though i knew he had to be doping (though I didn't want to accept it) --- he still won. he beat the other dopers. The question remains---was it that he had a better doping program, or that he was a better rider with a better doping program?
The more i see who he is, aside from what he did on a bike, the less i like him. He really went hard to ruin anyone who wouldn't play the game his way---had no issue with ruining the careers of anyone who wouldn't do things his way.
He still has some interesting opinions and a lot of knowledge ... but I bet he'd still turn vicious in a heartbeat. And he has never really accepted all the harm he has done to others ... as far as i can tell.
Some sportswriter once said he love to have a beer with Lance .... but not two.
