About me being a 'fan' of him. Look common sense says he probably has cheated, but there is no hard proof of that and it's unfair that he's been the victim of this witchhunt. They're not treating him equally like they would treat others and that isn't fair.
I've heard people say 98% of some years TDF were drug cheats. Besides the small minority that have been caught, the rest have as much reason to be deleted from the record books as LA does.
It simply isn't fair and he's been taken down because of his high profile. If he quit after his 2nd or 3rd win they'd never have gone to these lengths.
Possibly because he doesn't want to go through with it.
It's not the same as admitting guilt.
He's specifically said he maintains his innocence. He just feels the process and the system has it in for him and he has chosen not to fight it, sacrificing his titles.
His full statement is here:

Re: Lance Armstrong.
How is he guilty if he has never failed a USADA or WADA sanction drug test.
All this seems to be is pissed off ex-teammates talking him down.
Pretty much. People have cut deals to get themselves out of trouble and in return are saying what they've been told to say about Armstrong.
