I think you should have mentioned all the nasty things he did, to give a clearer picture.
Lance has always had a "Boss" mentality. Ego about as big as they get. Someone who will do whatever it takes to acheive his goals. In pro cycling that meant doping to the hilt, cheating to get away with it, and persistently lying. All the top guys were doping, but Lance was particularly arrogant and shameless about it. And of course very successful, which also made him a target. And his response was to defame and disparage all who challenged him. That's very understandable also, given his personality.
After the doping was proven, my opinion of him didn't change at all. He is what he is. I don't hate him. He isn't my hero. I do however admire his considerable athletic achievements. 7 TdF in a row is crazy.
I'm sure Lance would be in politics now, if not for the doping conviction. He has the skills. He may eventually land there anyway.
Lance for President! .... err....
