I think that a lot of people don't like the 'man' that is Lance, and the drug thing is just something focus attention on. The thing that I don't like is that he stands tall and professes to being clean at every opportunity-Antequil et al did not. They freely admitted to using 'medicines' to help their performance, and simply put it wasn't against the rules back then.
I think Lance is an incredibly driven athlete, but is a bit of a cock. I also think that he was doped to the gills for his 7 wins, but I also think that the rest of the peloton were too, so it was a level playing field. He is a 'great' in the sport, but I still don't like the man!
