How many is he inspiring to use health damaging performance enhancing drugs now (and then)? Assuming these accusations are true of course. If he raised the bar in the sport by taking drugs that can cause diseases and health problems, thereby indirectly persuading others to use them, then it's possible he did a lot of harm.

It's great that Armstrong has done so many positive things, but it doesn't give him a ticket to lie and cheat.
