Andy, the American public would probably care about it.
Sections of them certainly. My mate Dean helps run cycling holidays in Spain and many of the customers are American; well-off, conservative and all great fans of Armstrong. Dean had a yellow "Cheat to win" wristband which he had to stop wearing because none of his US clients could even begin to grasp that there were doubts about Armstrong's story. To them he was a hero, a man who had beaten cancer and inspired millions. Someone who's medical history proved to them again the truth of the American Dream. When they finally come to see that he is nothing but a liar and a cheat they *will *care.
