Lance Armstrong - commentary by Dan Wetsel [View all]

[peacebird]

"Across 90 minutes with Oprah Winfrey, Lance Armstrong did more than admit he cheated to win his seven Tour de France titles. He revealed a measure of the man that he is and this much is certain: If you never met this jerk, well, count your blessings."

"This was a glimmer of the true Lance Armstrong coming out. No Nike commercial edits. No press conference sound bites. No glowing magazine profiles. This was the guy who left scores and scores of people cursing that their paths ever crossed."

As for my take:
LA was always a cold, calculating jerk. What I don't get is this.... What is in it for Lance? This "apology", now?

I hate the doping, but worse than that was the brutal systemic destruction of anyone who dared speak out. He destroyed peoples careers, & reputations. Lance needs to make serious financial restitution to those he harmed if he truly seeks forgiveness. He will need to turn into Ebeneezer after his visits from the ghosts of christmas past, present, and future.

What is your take on LA.
