Like I said, he's an overachiever. Everyone cheats in life in some way. Most of us it is just little things - traffic laws, tax deductions, etc. I am sickened by what it appears he did (the intimidation). I am still slackjawed at his athletic accomplishments as sadly he was competing on a level playing field. I also believe that he was a force for good and inspired many cancer victims and survivors. So it is more complicated than typical athlete cheating situations.
This is one reason I don't watch any professional sports any more except for F1. I think they all cheat in some way, and the meaning of "sport" is completely lost on this generation of athlete and fan.
