What is everyone's take on the latest allegations against Armstrong? OK, I know, not swimming related, sorry.

Ok with everything going on in the news today about Lance Armstrong, I had to bring this old thread up because we have discussing and debating this issue for over 8 years. The only other controversial thread on this subject matter that had more debate was the Dara Torres threads. The question has to be asked is that will you remember Lance Armstrong for all the good or bad that he has done in sports, society, and in life? Was the news today a public admission of guilt and therefore he becomes a fraud after all these years? Or is he a hero for coming back and beating cancer and winning 7 tours and starting a foundation? Has anyone changed there view on this from how they feel through the years because of this latest news? I have provided links about all of news reports today and how their seems to be a changing of the tide against Lance Armstrong guilt or innocence.
