The Trailer for the New Lance Armstrong Documentary, ‘The Armstrong Lie’

Before the evidence was in, I defended this guy’s right to a fair investigation. While I’m highly disappointed, I still believe Lance was the product of a pervasive atmosphere in all of sports: in order to compete, drugs are/were necessary because everyone is/was doing it. And I still contend that the same people blasting the drug users probably complain about a less exciting drug-free sport. For example, take the painkillers and HGH out of football and watch what happens.

What I can’t defend, of course, are his bullying tactics and vindictiveness — behavior that ruined other riders.

Anyway, I’ll be interested to see the entire documentary.
