In the end you don't & you have to live with a bad feeling.

[PowerBug]

Well, only a couple of days to go until Lance's interview goes to air, and i must say, it's gonna be interesting. He's reportedly confessed, and also said "sorry" to Livestrong ambassadors who stopped him before he entered for his interview. :-\

[tbagrocks]

Anyone elso find this hype over the top and exessive?

I for one couldn't care less what he has to say, people not even interested in cycling getting all wrapped up in it like a drama, to care about drama you need to own a womb

[Boomz]

On one level I wish none of it had come out... He was an inspiration to so many people but guess it did seem too good to be true. Some of the things he said about people who said he doped are really flowered up.

[colmullet]

Deserves every bit of what he gets from the fallout from this, he didn't even really show any remorse, just was sorry he got caught essentially. You can kinda say he did a lot of good with cancer awareness (then again would have done more good putting it towards a cure....who doesn't know about cancer in this day and age?) but it almost seems as though he created that foundation as a diversion away from the rumors of his drug cheating. The amount of people's lives he has ruined through either attacking them when they called him out, or, honest athletes who were denied a chance to make a living doing what they loved due to not being able to compete with what these guys were doing offsets any good he may have done in my mind.

To be honest i'd love to see him bankrupt after paying back prize money and money accrued from the deformation suits he filed for years and ended up winning which the claims are now being proved as accurate, and sitting in jail for a period of time for lying under oath as he did over n over for how many years?

Deserves what he gets from this

Shows you how good Cadel is.

[tbagrocks]

Cadel's win was one of my all time moments

[CrowsFan]

Who says Cadel didn't take drugs? Took them years to catch Armstrong, so could still get Evans...

[Torpedo10]

Greg LeMond always belived that Armstrong was using drugs and Armstrong always used to say that LeMond was just jealous, I wonder how LeMond feels now.  :P

[Tominator]

watched the 2nd part of Oprah's interview, part of me feels sorry for him but I also think he deserves it

[CrowsFan]

Yeah I agree tom. Watched both parts and even though I know he deserves it there is still a part of me that feels sorry for him. Although he raised an interesting point that previous people who have been caught have been suspended for 6 months, yet he has received a lifetime ban from any sanctioned sporting event. Seems rather harsh when put in to perspective...
