Lance.

Doesn't really change my opinion of him.

1- He's a prick.
2- His overcoming really bad cancer was as courageous as it gets.
3- Sure he was doping, they ALL were doping.  Was he doping more successfully or did that just level the playing field, whereupon he distinguished himself from peers through his training and heart?   Can't tell.
4- 7 TDF wins.  Tainted?  Yes, but can't really judge how much.  Not as much as Bonds, more than FP.
