I think that's simplistic. Leiphemer made a mint out of his book about him cheating to win and make money. Hincapie, despite repeatedly supporting Lance in his affidavit to the USADA, runs a bike team and races. He was given a special bike for his last Tour, and the honour of leading out the peloton on the Champs d'Elysee, where he was chased down by Horner. According to Vaughters it was to preserve Omertà , to punish him for fingering Armstrong. Gentleman George, accomplice and friend, that even while grassing Armstrong up defended what Lance and he did.
Just think with Lance you have the pariah that absorbs the sins of everyone else and excuses them. He's the cycling anti-Jesus. So everyone gets a shrug of the shoulders and a 'well we got Lance'.
