Come on now. Levi and Lance were offered the same three choices: a) make a formal admission to USADA and get lenient treatment
b) go to arbitration to fight the charges
c) do nothing, and face harsh sanction.
I'm not sure that's completely correct. While Levi took the first option and received a six month ban, did he lose any of his past victories? I honestly don't know the answer to that question but I don't recall ever hearing that he did.
I'm guessing Lance was not given that same option.
EDIT: btw, I have no sympathy for Lance but I also have no sympathy for Levi, George, et al. For all that I'm concerned, I'd prefer it if they all just went away and were never heard from again.
