Not saying everyone didn't do it (or at least a reasonably sized portion).
He is still scum for what he did as a rider. He cheated. He broke the rules and then lied about it constantly. Then he finally broke his silence, only because proof had been found. Not because he was a good bloke. And then he wanted people to feel sorry for him by doing it with Oprah.
**** off. He basically is telling kids that it's okay to cheat in life as long as you don't get caught.
And not just cheat once, but systematically cheat over years and encourage others to do the same.
Scum.
He's an embarrassment to the sport and any sport in general.
I honestly hoped he lost all his money and ended up in jail to set an example.
