Well, at the risk of pointing out the obvious, I guess you do……unless there is another reason you decided to make that post.

Also, this was the first that I saw this interview and thought it was a really good interview overall. Attia asked a lot of very direct questions that I don’t think I had heard Lance answer before in the past. And it seems that a lot of people on the Internet, here included, don’t want to ever let the past go and seem to be adamant of never forgiving Lance for what he did.

I made it two minutes, got a chuckle. Hey I had infants in the house when seeing him on the TdF podium. It’s all a blur. Wasn’t paying attention to cycling at the time but I wanted to believe it could happen. Was crushed hearing him confess on Oprah, all those lies. And then later hearing all the terrible terrible things he did to people. Did you know my mom went from great cardio checkup to wild a-fib immediately after her first Moderna shot? Try saying that back in 2021. Humanity.
Two minutes was enough, thanks Lance for confirming that DuraAce is better than Campy Super Record, and that the aero water bottle was not a pivotal development in TTs 
Was referring to the other guy’s “factual mistakes” that you felt the need point out one-by-one.
As any UK users of this forum will likely know, the Sun is not exactly a bastion of reputable, independent journalism (you don’t work there for a Pulitzer), so take this with a grain of salt, but it does appear that leopards don’t change their spots:
I guess this is the part that I don’t get. Many people like you say that hearing this was a bombshell for cycling or that they felt betrayed, or something similar. I just don’t get it. Lance got me into cycling with the Tour. I was like 12 when he won his first one and we (my family) watched every stage every year. And guess what, I still watch it every year. I remember watching the confession on Oprah and the aftermath, but I guess it just didn’t affect me at all. I still watched cycling. I still rode my bike. I’m just confused why it affected people so much. Like, why are people taking it so personal? I get if you were part of the team or somebody associated with the team that he went after. But for the average fan or American cyclist, why did it affect you so much? It literally didn’t change my opinion of cycling or how I intersected with cycling at all. I still get excited to watch bike racing and haven’t missed a Tour since Lance won his first one. I guess I’m just curious why it changed peoples’ opinion on cycling so much.

No, I knew exactly why you posted, which is why my response to you was phrased as it was.
Thanks for confirming that you felt the need to make some kind of personal jab for no reason.
Later.
But that’s what people do. We have an emotional reaction, and in milliseconds we latch onto something logical to bolster our emotional take. Seriously, it’s a thing.

I agree, although I don’t think it’s so much as “forgiving,” but more simply realizing we’re all human, and we’re neither the worst or best we’ve ever acted.

And many people won’t even acknowledge that with him.

I can’t believe a word of that Sun article.
So he was talking to women at a party, trying to make friends. And…?
This came up in my feed today on youtube. Found it quite interesting.
Well, there are many conclusions you might draw from that article, but I didn’t think that was one of them

Well now that you’ve mentioned it, there were similar arguments being made at the time that Lance’s lies justified the greater good (Livestrong Foundation).
Not a bombshell for cycling. I actually believed Lance Armstrong and took him at his word. Wanted to believe the story of recovering from cancer and going on to great things without doping. Because he adamantly and aggressively claimed to not be a doper. But it was all a big lie. And regarding the terrible things he did, IMHO the last couple of years there have been far more ‘Lance-holes’ destroying peoples careers and reputations. Drugs. Humanity. Whatever. 
Yeah, that wasn’t my point,…
Sure it was.
