Lost any or all respect for Lance Atrmstrong?
Options
I think that for a couple years at least, most people believe that he doped up. It's no real shock that it is actually true, but I was sort of surprised that he actually admitted it after all these years of denial.
How has this changed your opinion of him, if at all?
Oops on the spelling, LOL.

He's a cheater and a liar.
His foundation may do great things, but that doesn't take away his character flaws.0 -

I respect his foundation. But I can't respect him anymore, and I'm saddened by it. It would have been epic to say that all of his wins were honest, and now that the truth has come out I'm not really mad at him, per se. But it is sort of sad to see his cycling dynasty destroyed. It's also a sad way to end a career as an athlete, I think.0

it really is amazing how the Cult of Armstrong still believes his innocence. and even if he admits it on Oprah they will probably say he only did it so he could get past it and that he never really did it.0

Its a really sad way to end a career. I really really wanted him to be innocent, but sadly it doesn't seem to be the case.0

He competed in an era when players doped. And, they all lied about it. Not saying I condone the doping or the lying. But, I can't lose respect for his accomplishments knowing he was competing against what is likely a fair number of other dopers. I say you put an asterisk on his record, but let it stand.0

Someone keeps asking how did he ruin anyone's life. I want to know too. Lots of people are cheaters and liars, many the more money they have the more crap they do, but I want to know also whose life he ruined.0

LOL I've never heard one single person say that Lance Armstrong ruined their life. It's funny to me that people are witch hunting Lance, when in fact cycling as a whole is a HUGE cesspool for drugging. So in reality he was playing on a level playing field.
I agree with most though... I lost a lot of respect for the guy because of his lying.0 -

Others dislike him as a person so they choose any avenue to trash him.0 -
I just feel bad, not necessarily for him, but all those who looked up to him. It would gave been nice if he was clean. Just a sad story of our time we hear too often.
Wish it weren't true.0 -

He's just the one of the few that got caught. Still one of my heroes!0
