Most people commenting on Lance Armstrong’s interview with Oprah have chosen to kick a bloke who is down, but the more preferred way to see it is as a great day for cycling and a good thing done by Armstrong.
After years and years of lies and deceit, to finally put your hand up and say, “I stuffed up,” can only be a good thing from this massive cheat.
The reaction to Armstrong has been way over the top. So many heroes and overnight experts want to knock the bloke for finally revealing the truth and tell us Lance is coming clean because he wants to race again, for money, for whatever reason.
They want to tell us he didn’t have genuine contrition. What more could the bloke say than ‘sorry’, which he did?
Armstrong owes those who he very wrongly sued and bullied like a massive jerk much more than a simple ‘sorry’, but for all of those gullible people who believed this bloke was clean, he said sorry and for mine that is sufficient.
Armstrong will go down as sport’s greatest ever cheat. No one can match him. He was a stand over man who would get his way no matter what. Suing honest people is a low act.
He can never compete again, no matter how much he wants to. He lost that as an option when he cheated the first time, let alone the hundredth time. However he deserves plenty of credit for coming out and clearing a lot of it up.
If he chose Oprah instead of a more formal setting good luck to him. Anyone in his position would prefer a person more interested in healing the human than grilling him and wanting to spill blood.
The overnight experts who want to kick the bloke when he’s down need to move on and see the positive side of this interview, and the fact it should be a great deterrent for drug cheats in the future.
