Everyone in cycling at the elite level is dirty. Lance just got caught and his high profile status and popularity just made this whole ordeal bigger than it would have been had he not been such a big public figure.
The reality is Lance is a special athlete. Who is not only incredibly gifted athletically (even without steroids) but battled adversity with Cancer. All of this and he won 7 TDF titles. Given how dirty cycling is, and Lance is the only guy to be able to win that many titles and dominate the sport for that long, that says more about Lance as an athlete than what he was putting in his body.
I will still recognize and acknowledge his accomplishments, even if he did cheat.
