I agree with your basic point; they we’re all doping. Armstrong’s choice was to also dope or go home.

What you miss is that Armstrong made the choice to lie and destroy many people.

That said, while I think Armstrong’s behavior was dispicable, I think he is finally in his late 40’s maturing into a half decent person.
