What did y'all expect the man to do? Step back and say - welp, my masseuse caught me, its all over - the jig is up... and just walk away from a billion dollar industry that is being carried by your young shoulders? Is that what y'all would do? Just up and confess, walk away and blow it all up?
They would still be on these forums condemning the guy, because as has been evident from day 1 of the revelation of cheating, they are basically just heart broken and traumatized that their idol betrayed their belief in him.
Human beings, by nature, are an imperfect species. Just recognize that and let it go. The guy has been exposed and punished, yet many people want him treated like he's the worst person who ever walked the earth. It's only sports forchrissakes!
