Armstrong tried explaining that when he first started, he was only trying to level the playing field in a sport where doping is pretty common.

I think before people judge him they have to understand the climate he was in. He cheated because he HAD to. Not saying it was right but it makes it more understandable. I hope the whole industry is reviewed so stuff like this never happens again. Lance used to be my hero i remember cutting out a newsaper article of him when he won the tour de france for the xth time.
