The thing you have to remember is that a lot of guys honestly retire from sports, or high octane professions, only to find their life is missing something. Until/unless they adjust to that, a lot of times they wind up falling into other pursuits that can fill some of that void. That's why street drugs are high on the list of mistakes people make after their careers. Lances divorce, I admittedly don't know much about, but will say, he could be doing a lot worse things in terms of his image, and for the future of his children than dating a series of thin blonds.
Regardless of how you feel about the guy, whether you believe he doped or not, as long as his name is in the public eye in a positive light, that just means that much more money for cancer research. Whether it's about his legacy, his ego, whatever, the cancer research money is still a good thing.
