Once one makes real gains from cheating alone, it is nigh impossible to persuade others not to take that easy way out.
The only way to really stop it is to catch it in the cradle.
To be honest, who has Lance Armstrong really harmed?
I can think of hundreds, nay, thousands of things that people really should be enraged over, not some easy to solve cheating scandal
Precisely. Since when was cycling something Americans even care about? Yet, the rush to crucify the guy, to bring the law into it, has been fever-pitch for years.
The guy cheated and won titles he probably shouldn't have, but I fail to see why this is relevant to anybody who doesn't actually follow the sport.
