The rest of the world looks on in incredulity at the yanks destroying their own hero in a sport that has always accepted PEDS as part of the culture, and this, I believe, is part of the reason Lance has acted the way he has, I think in his mind he has played the game by the rules, writen and unwriten, and so should be left in peace.

While I agree with you, still doping shouldn't be allowed. Besides being a health question athletes shouldn't have to put up with,

In fact, some argue that it was Armstrong's doping that caused his infamous battle with testicular cancer. Medical evidence suggests that steroids such as testosterone and EPO may cause significant damage to the body, including an increased risk of cancer, particularly of the testicles. Witnesses have come forth with information that Armstrong admitted doping to his doctors and was aware that he may have contributed to his illness.

a lot of competitions probably come down to who has the best drugs, and that's just a f***** up situation.
