I don’t expect him to be apologetic. I want to see the real Lance. Plus, let’s be honest, insofar as cycling, he did nothing wrong. The sport was inherently dirty. He shouldn’t apologize imo. It was a sport for dishonest cheaters. Seems to me he was right at home.
As for his foundation, sponsors etc. Yeah he’s a lying scumbag but again, I’d rather he be honest about his feelings than fake regret.
I find it odd that MJ got attacked for allegedly exercising editorial control to make himself look good. Lance seemingly exerts no such control and people are mad that he comes across as a jerk because he was honest.
So what do we want? Docs that only portray perfect people perfectly? That’s no fun.

I personally didn't think MJ came out looking good in The Last Dance. I understand it was basically his doc but I'm not sure what issues or elements of his career he omitted. The controversial stuff I remembered about his career (the gambling, the "Republicans buy sneakers, too" comment, being a jerk teammate) wasn't whitewashed, in my opinion.
