Shame on him!
You know it's bag enough to dope and win once but to keep doing for years is extra shitty. If I was one of the "clean people" that lost to him I would be so pissed.
I don't believe that he did it. I think he is just sick of the allegations and said he did so people would STFU
I have given some serious consideration to this. I still doubt he ever doped.
I believe this as well. Even if he did, we're talking about a large group of people who were doping that lost to him. There isn't really anyone to feel sorry for, IMO. Also, whether or not he was doping, I still believe he would have won regardless. He is one of the strongest cyclists there is.

I wonder what else he has lied about.
There were no clean people. Honestly, it was a sport-wide thing. You're just hearing about it because of whom he is.
I agree with PC, even when he said over and over again that he didn't do it, no one believed him. He even agreed to multiple tests and passed them ALL! I think he was just over the BS and wanted to move on with his life. He was already stripped of all his medals and his reputation was tarnished, what else was there for him to lose?

I think the saddest thing about the whole thing is the effect this will have on Livestrong. It's such a good organization, and because he's ultimately tied to it, it will take a hit because of his negative publicity. Sure, he's been denying and accused for so long, but a public admission now could really hurt the organization.

He (Armstrong) has been tested to be a super freak of a person. The same goes for dean karnazes. He is a runner who ran 50 marathons in 50 days. His book 50\50 is amazing. Throughout those 59 days Dean had various blood work done and he was superhuman!

Huh. I totally think he did it and I think it would be ridiculous to come out now and admit it if he didn't.
With that being said, I was unclear on what "doping" actually was until I heard it on the radio today. And if everyone in the sport is doing it, I get why someone like him would.
