That just feeds the civic batsh*t crazy mindset of the sports cabal... for starters. One might consider that he was not the only doper on the tour or any other race, it's the norm. This is about the same as pointing a finger at our government and picking one individual and saying that they got into office by taking contributions from corporate entities.
So he had a plan that worked for him, it isn't like he was competing against non-dopers in all those races for heaven's sake. And he did something worthwhile with his notoriety, he founded "Livestrong" ...a very worthy cause that has helped countless people.
I am not calling him out for doping and covering it up, as he's not alone there. What I lament more is that our society requires inhumane physical abilities in our sports entertainment while people like him make it their life, and that when they are found to be not in keeping with our puritan ideologies we publicly skewer them to ruination. When someone does succeed within the confines of our puritan expectations, nobody seems to notice. And whenever I did watch the tour, I was rooting for him.
2na.
