Watching the 30 for 30 on Lance Armstrong.

 

He is a jerk of a level few will ever attain. Arrogant, a bully, competitive to an unhealthy amount. 

I recognize that he cheated to accomplish his victories. 

He’s one of my favorite athletes of all time. I loved watching the Tour de France when he was at the peak of his abilities.

His competition were doping too and he beat them. I couldn’t do what he did if I used the drugs he used.

 

He sucks as a person in a lot of ways, which makes him an easy target to hate. But I think that what he was as an athlete should be remembered differently.

Feel the same. He's a Grade A asshat. But he's a hell of an athlete and one hell of a competitor.

 

One of my favorite sports moments was The Look, where Armstrong was in a tight competition with Jan Ullrich (also guilty of doping) in the 2001 Tour, going up L'Alpe d'Huez, an unrated climb, and Armstrong looks back as if to say, "I'm going. You coming?"
