"I’ve done too many good things for too many people."
This is really revealing. Even the most determined dopers have some sort of conscience, some understanding that what they are doing is not right, and they use all sorts of mental tricks to assuage that guilt: Everyone does it, it's not dope it's medicine, they are recovery products, cycling clean is actually bad for your health and on and on. Armstrong has clearly added a new one: My success has saved lives so what does it matter how I achieved that success? God dammit, when you think about it, every injection I ever had was a step closer to a cure for cancer. How can that be wrong?
Desperate times indeed.
