I'm currently reading 7 deadly sins by David Walsh.
He's the journalist that refused to believe in him when everyone else did and was the one who eventually brought him down.
I've heard a lot of people say that they could win events/races if they used steroids etc.
you couldn't. In fact you couldn't even finish one stage of the tour.
I'm not excusing Armstrong's actions but this runs a lot deeper than the riders.
Any team manager that claims to be unaware of a doping programme within their team is a liar.
Let's not forget that the Tour director at the time was 5 times winner Bernard Hinlaut.
He won 5 times whilst doping was at its peak yet claims the sport was drug free.
Armstrong is a turd of the highest calibre but he is just a pawn in a much bigger game.
The teams, sponsors and tour directors all have to answer for his and other riders crimes but I fear they will get away with it.
