Armstrong turned out to be a cheater, but then cycling is synonymous with doping... some say it may be the dirtiest sport there is. So the doping/ped cheating just seems par for the course and 7 times he beat a bunch of other doping cheaters. Best of the best... best at cycling and maybe the best at cheating with the best technology. Fact still remains the guy has amazing physical ability... drugs or no drugs.
The other thing though is that he seems to be a bad guy.... at least got corrupted with all the fame, etc and was willing to do whatever in order to protect his image/career. No excuse for that, but again look how common it is for people to lie when they get caught.
IMO, too much has been made of it, and I'm tired of hearing about it. Same as with the baseball players... same story day after day after day. And, we don't need government investigating stupid baseball players habits of the last 20 years. More important things to figure out IMO
