    I've known he was guilty for years. Too much smoke.

    He raised billions for cancer. Everyone was cheating and he was the best among them.

    Always 100% thought he was guilty. Did not believe there was even a remote chance he wasn't. Lance Armstrong always struck me as a little weird and pathological, so his forceful & emphatic denials never fazed me one bit.

    I've been blown away over the years by the masses that continued to believe him.

    I've been following cycling for 25 years and I knew he was dirty from his first race back. You don't dominate a sport full of Mark McGuires without being Barry Bonds.

    Guilty as hell, from the start. Pathological liar. Ruthless mafia ringleader. Cheat. Arrogant prick.

    All your poll choices might as well be "gut feeling".

    If the glove fits? Hell, there isn't even proof of a glove.

    Yep. People always hate those who cheat better than them.

    Always figured he probably was. The sport is dirty. Armstrong is a lot of negative things, but he has also been a positive. His guilt doesn't really change my opinion of him.

    I don't know, Lance never seemed that he was in good enough shape to be on steroids...

    He's a native Texan, raised $500 million for cancer, beat all those other cheaters down 7 times at their own game and did all that with one testicle.

    In a cheater's sport he was the best, and considering what he did with the fame and money that accompanied that I have to say that I always have supported him. But he is kind of a ****

    The lengths cyclists go through to beat testing is amazing.

    Yep. They can feel like they won the Tour De France without actually winning it if they can beat the test.

    Well, if there was ONE rider who did compete or would have liked to compete in the Tour de France and did not take any substances, then he cheated that guy, even if everyone else cheated.

    The "well, everyone else did it as well" argument does not hold water.

    The thing is everyone else got busted. As far as I know lance never tested positive. So you got to give him credit there.

    I still don't understand the entertainment value in watching someone else ride a bicycle.
