Lance Armstrong deserved to loose everything, the evidence against him is overwhelming, but to have this go on for so many years, one has to wonder how many other Lance Armstrong's have their been? I think the sport is forever tainted which is a real tragedy for those who do give this sport their all, don't take any drugs, work hundreds of thousands of hours to be the best only to have this happen.

I have no sympathy for Lance Armstrong nor do I have any trust for the people who should have discovered this years ago.
