My thought is this, He did it, now he has admitted it from what ESPN is posting. But what about the others that did, a few admitted it only to avoid lifetime suspensions along with other punishment to testify against him. Even George has come clean with the story. I would think that all the cats that did the same as Lance should receive the same punishment. Remember this is not one race, it is over a few years............. So if one is in the boat, then all should be. One of the guys I think Maybe Hamilton said everyone did it in those days. If you did not you could not compete. So it just seems that Lance was the best of the cheaters.
With all said, it was because of Lance that I started cycling and getting into shape and had a dream while on the bike. So I still support his cause, LIVESTRONG!!!!

You are right, there is always a flip side. Good things (Livestrong) came of what Armstrong did by winning those races and gaining the fame that ultimately allowed him to start Livestrong. Plus encouraging the sport of cycling with its good health benefits.
They all should be sanctioned, but I'm guessing they went after the guys at the top.
