I just came off a triathlon forum and someone started a poll if Armstrong damages the sport or helps it. More than half voted that he damages the reputation of triathlon.
I thought the bashing was way over the top and don't really get it.
I have a friend who is a bike racing fan. He's convinced Lance doped all through his TdF days. My tendency leans that way as well. He was quite disappointed that the Justice Dept. closed their investigation. I don't think that view is all that unusual in the cycling community. Given the continued suspicion, I don't find it all that odd that the tri community would be divided on what Lance brings to the sport.
