I was impressed that Armstrong could beat cancer and do it with such grace. I was not impressed with Armstrong the athlete. I had heard too much by people in the know to even remotely believe he wasn't doping. I was in the camp guilty until proven innocent and firmly believed that he beat the tests by cheating, not by being innocent.
LeMond was always a hero. He has more class and style in his little finger than Armstrong ever had. Hopefully, the Armstrong turmoil can now be put to rest. Maybe one day bicycling will again be a clean sport. This is certainly a beginning.
