[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This whole story, and the vitriol it has provoked, tells you a lot about America.

It was clear at the time he was winning that he was doping. Yet he was a huge hero to you all.

Now he is down, everyone lines up to kick him with everything they have. Sociopath, sh!t, etc.

Why this about-face? Because Americans love winners, and hate losers.  You celebrate sociopaths when they are winning, but can't wait to kick a "loser" when he is down.

Shame on you all - for celebrating the cheater when he was winning, and for piling on once it has been decided he is a loser.[/quote]

First of all, plenty of doping racers in other countries have gone through the same thing.  I think it is your unfamiliarity with the sport and its fans at work here.

Second, aside from the level of success, you have little to point to.  It was not "clear" to the people paid to catch him for many years.  Lots of athletes have had as amazing levels of success.  Michael Phelps, 22 medals + his world championships over a very lengthy time frame.  Roger Federer, Pete Sampras, probably each had 20 Grand Slam event wins.  Joe Louis, in a sport requiring sheer physical strength, defended his title 25 times in an era that predates steroids.  So is it equally clear to you that they are all dopers?

It is easy to say in hindsight that it was obvious.  But it was not obvious.  You are a monday morning quarterback on this one.
