I think he should admit he is and was a cheater, But it seems like he will continue to say he is not guilty of doping, In my opinion this is going to drive him nut's

It's a shame all this story with Lance Armstrong. Such a roll model for every sportsman out there and such a legacy he achieved to be remembered throughout history and now all everyone will remember is this. Hope it serves as a lesson to the ones who think that cheating is worth the risk. I'm more disappointed than mad actually. wish the guy was innocent

michael phelps, lance armstrong... and other sportive... how did you think they can do performance ? only with training ? no way ... that's impossible... our body wasn't made for swim like a fish or ciclicg like a motor ... they get drugs... no cocaine and heroine... weed and other stuff... they take that vitamins who improve their performance

I don't care what type of doping these people are doing! If it weren't for extra hard training the doping couldn't be the only thing that helps some of these athletes win. They have done this their whole life and they are good. That's why they win, but theirs definitely something strange with the Lance Armstrong scenairio. I don't know why it took so long to verify these things he did and what did he take or do exactly. They say doping, but like stated it's not coke, heroin, weed or anything so what makes someone cycle so well. For the most part, Lot's of training!

Everything I've read on Lance Armstrong and professional Cycling suggests that 'doping' is incredibly ingrained in the culture.. I'm pretty hesitant to call out Armstrong on this to admit his 'cheating' when it appears the whole culture is rife with it anyway. It appears to me that it's 'just the way it is'. Seems unfair to crucify an individual at this stage just for 'being caught'. That's my 2c anyway.

I wonder what was the position of the first cycler to end the tour without doping in the last decade? 150th ? 200th ? Perhaps I'll sign up for the next tour, in about 10 years I'll be the winner by everybody else desqualification.
