    All these people here saying Lance was the best ever or he dint deserve the punishment because all others were doped as well. Ok, fair argument. But remember this. Besides the cycling and him lying about doping just as others did he also attacked people that were either investigating him or told truth about him doping. He used his lawyers and money to quit them, he used tactics like a politician trying to destroy his opponent. He made life hell for witnesses and people that were not on his side. Its like Bush saying if your not on my side your the enemy and we will destroy you. No other doping user has gone on this kind of level. When other cyclist did not want to dope in his team they were out. And on top of that they would be open for smear tactics if they said anything. He took doping to another level and comparing it with the other dopers its clear to see why this narcissistic guy was handled differently in this case.
    What is another side to it is the fact the important people in the organisation of world wide cycling protecting him and took the money. Armstrong corrupted the whole system at that point and they were just as corrupt as him. Thats how the world works, the suits get off. Sickening. They are still in power at cycling.
    By the way, Lance was only the best because of doping, without it and every else also he would be a day cyclist winning some rides but the mountains he would not do good.

      Bill Burr is a comedian, and in this case he is totally wrong, and he probably knows it. Burr reads a lot. Tyler Hamilton and ALL OTHERS clearly said: It was NOT an even playing field.
      A really HUGE part of Armstrong's tour wins were to have the best doping and to interrupt the doping of others. He did it to Telekom, to Phonak, to CSC etc.

No, what wins out every single time is reality, and the reality is that Armstrong was one of the biggest liars and cheats in history, despite being an incredible athlete. He personally betrayed every single honest athlete in his sport, and is lucky to get away with only half a castration.

    Bottom line, he turned pro as a tri athlete at 15. His Vo2 max was one of the highest ever recorded. Everyone was on EPO and had a hema of about 47 to 50. He was a hyper competitor and a type A personality. He would have wone even if everyone was natural. He was a gifted endurance freak who could suffer. Was he an A hole? For sure, but he had to fall from grace to become a better human, I think he has made tremendous strides. I think he has put the monster in the corner and has learned a lot about humanity.

I understand, now, the mentality of having to dope to win against the other dopers. My older eyes have a different perspective now. I'm no longer the blind faith ingenue that looked up to his hero and was so upset when the scandal broke. Lance did what he did. I have regained my respect and admiration for Lance Armstrong.

      Yes, i've seen this one too before. You are correct. Most of the Tour riders were doping. However, this does not diminish the accomplishments of Lance. Seven in a row! And had he not retired its certainly possible he could have won several more because the guy retired for 3 or 4 years and came back at age 37 to podium in third place. No one gives him credit for literally riding the whole Tour in the early spring to check out all the nuances of the course and certainly all of the climbs. Every year he had different team members and through all of that generally the whole team remained intact the entire tour and no one got sick or crashed out. i only remember Lance having one bad day (Joux Plaine as I recall as be bonked because he did not take in enough fluids and calories) but he survived and came back to win the Tour. A remarkable achievement. He was just the fall guy for the entire doping scandals. Other sports (like baseball) were selective in who they punished as well and other "users" got a free pass. i think because Lance was American and at times prickly the Europeans took great glee in going after him.

    • @SvalbardSleeperDistrict

      This is the most unserious fanboy comment one can imagine.
      All dopers were being questioned by reporters and whistleblowers, and sometimes arrested and paraded in front of the public as such. You either haven't heard about the Festina Scandal, Operation Puerto and what happened to careers of riders like Pantani and Virenque - in which case you have no idea about road cycling and are just one person's fan - or are ignoring that history to construct this victim narrative for the person who is the least fitting for the role of a victim from that era.
      Then another claim, that supposedly it was only Armstrong who was "doing this training", when you don't get to even compete anywhere near the front of the field in grand tours unless you do all of what he is doing here.
      And then supposedly in other teams the domestiques rode for themselves and not for team leaders, when the latter is how every single team operated and operates.
      Lazy, ignorant clichés in service of gushing for a deeply unethical personality who was not only engaged in promoting himself to his fans as a clean athlete while doing the opposite, but went far beyond the other dopers by gaining support of influential people to attack and sink careers and destroy lives of those who questioned him and campaigned for truth on doping in cycling. Like the kids say, cringe.

    Lance Armstrong was a cycling PHENOM regardless of what he, and others over the years, got caught up in. The US govt set out to take down an individual, not the problem, like what is going on in America today in the political world. European cycling could not stand they got their heads handed to them on a platter. I don't like what Lance and other cyclists did with doping, they let the pressure to win take them over. That said Lance, is one of the greatest cyclists EVER to race. The TdF, while Lance was competing, got me through FOUR knee replacement surgeries. I could not sleep due to pain so I watched every stage live and then all the rebroadcasts. Thank you!!!
