Warning: Temper your reading of this post with the knowledge that it is my knee jerk reaction to this issue.

I always find it highly suspect when athletes go to the media to disclose past mistakes in order "to help the sport". It always feels like they're just tyring to get another 15 minutes of fame. If Frankie (or any of the others who have abused drugs during their professional careers in cycling, baseball, track & field, etc.) really wants to have an impact, let him go to high schools and talk with students directly about the dangers, temptations, moral challenges, etc. Let him work with coaches to help them build athletes that despise the use of performance drugs. Let him write a book and then shun the media interviews. If Frankie did these things I'd be much more impressed with him.
