This. I used to feel like Armstrong strongly deserved the punishment for doping, but in a sport where doping is common throughout I feel like it's the system that deserves to be scrutinized instead of Armstrong. With all that said I will gain a slight measure of respect for Armstrong if he comes out and admits it. Honesty is always the best policy.
