I read an op-ed piece in the Wall Street Journal yesterday regarding what you just stated. Lance wanted to be at the top of the heap, he wanted to be in the place where private jets, celebrities & big bucks were the norm. Bicycle racing is not a glamorous sport but when you're the very best in the field it is because you then have world wide recognition and you are catered to. He never wanted to be just another racer, he wanted to be top dog and he did what he had to in order to get there.
People don't go on Oprah to confess, they go on Oprah for forgiveness.
