The whole situation is too bad.
It's like "judging" a political situation. None of us have all the information.

Sure, somebody can point a finger at Lance and say "Bad Lance"... but how far is it down really until we say "THAT guy was clean, he shall be declared the winner."

20 people have won the Tour de France multiple times.
18 Euros, 2 Americans.
Strip the top guy (Armstrong) of his titles and the Euros reclaim their "rightful" place as the best cyclists in cycling history.

I think of it this way, if Barry Bonds is/was found to have used steroids, I think MLB should strip him of his title of HR King...
...but let him keep his yearly HR records... because everybody else was mostly doing it too.

That's all I have to say about that. {said with Forrest Gump voice}.


As a side story:
My most prized sports memoribilia possession is actually Tour de France related.
My grandmother (meme) grew up in Brussels and married a very renowned butcher.
Famous cyclist, the Belgian Eddy Merckx used to visit her shop and one day gave them one of his cycling jerseys.
No idea what it's worth... but it's authentic. (Dude was skinny).
Even has his name stitched in the rear collar.
Picture of the jersey. The word "Molteni" does not appear on the jersey I own.
