I guess when it all boils down, the lesson should be that Lance Armstrong is just a person. No better or worse than most of us. We've all had our hands in the proverbial cookie jar in small (or large) ways and probably all know what it's like to deny the truth or outright lie in order to avoid blame or shame.
I guess I couldn't care less about his titles, his loss of titles, his admissions of guilt, or his future. He's just another fallible person like the rest of us. For those who feel cheated by his actions (probably like those who feel Clemens, McGuire, Bonds, etc. cheated you) I understand feeling duped. But it's long over and at the end of the day he is famous for riding bicycles as Bonds is famous for hitting a ball with a stick. I hope to hear very little about this in the coming days but am sure it will make big news if Lance admits his guilt.
