OMG USADA Lance etc

I don't think he's truly sorry that he doped. I think he's sorry that he got caught.!

That's exactly my impression from what I saw on Thursday's portion of the interview (didn't see Friday's).

Crankin, thanks for the insight. I think the media is pretty hypocritical. I blame all of us for doping issues. The media, the sponsors and the public demand, faster, stronger, record breaking results only to gasped in horror and shock when the competitor is caught. For me it is like the proverb - may he who lives in a glass house cast the first stone. Don't get me wrong, I am not letting Lance off the hook and the man certainly has issues with facing the truth but can't help but be somewhat tongue in cheek over the entire affair. I do hope that Livestrong survives the fallout.

I'll quote a dear friend of mine "He's done great cancer work, and is the most beautiful thing I ever saw ride a bike. Doped or no, ******* or no, those two things trump all else for me."

That's pretty much what happened to my exchange student. When he gave up on the pro level, specifically because of doping (his team lost their sponsors), he found success at the college level. But, it came with a price of a few tough years, financially and psychologically.
I still wonder if some of those juniors were doping when my son was racing.
