Exactly and I'll add. While Lance Armstrong might have made his life a little better by somewhat "taking advantage" of his name, fact is his name raised a half a billion dollars that most likely saved many lives.
I tend to look at it this way, Everyone was doping.(at least the good ones) If he didn't he wouldn't have had the success and wouldn't have helped that many people with cancer. I could have taken 5x the amount of doping and never come close to him...dope or not he was a great athlete,I suspect if nobody took it he still would have been the greatest at his sport anyway
Double edge sword.
