The other Armstrong

[Platypus]

There's not much honour in not playing the game because you know you're going to lose, but I guess it'll fool enough people, particularly back in the states where they don't know just how near-certain it was that he, along with everyone else, was doping to some degree.

I happen to think blood recycling isn't morally as bad as doping, but it is illegal, and we can be 100% sure any rider finishing in the top 10 of the Tour de France or any major tour between 1996-2008 was doing at least that. I think some riders are definitely cleaner than others - as much as I think he's a dickhead, I don't think Wiggins dopes, and I'm certain Cadel Evans doesn't - although both may have been blood recyclers in the past - but I wouldn't put Armstrong in that category. I believe he is a cheat, I believe he was about to get irrefutably caught, and I believe he is jumping now before he's pushed in order to maintain a little bit of respect from those fooled in to respecting him in the first place.
