I can't even think of a word bad enough to say in mixed company.

It seems the whole sport is corrupted.

Lance was an intimidating bully that threatened everyone who didn't go along for the ride.

He was the most litgious athlete ever and I was never a fan of him or bycicle racing. I did admire hime for his overcoming cancer until it was made known he used PED's. I find the way he conducted himself to be shameful and totally unjustified in any way shape of form. I don't feel sorry for him as he did this to himself and others who came in contact with him are suffering due to his wrong doing.

We should never look to athletes as role models unless they have deserved reputation for clean living and hard work,
