Why does the BBC show such shit when he’s nothing but a drug addled prick?

Thank you very much | Diolch yn fawr
All at JackArmy.net would like to thank everyone who has played a part on this site over the past 25 years whether that is through writing, contributing, moderating, posting or just visting and reading.
Without any of you the work that has gone into the site would have been pointless and we will always be proud that we built, generated and managed a community that was such a big part of the Swansea City supporting life for so long.
It has been a pleasure to bring to you the site for so long but the time is now right to turn the lights out for the last time but we do it both with a heavy heart and a sense of pride driven by the so many messages received since we announced the closure.
The site will remain here for a period until we archive and mothball it for the last time later this summer but all aspects are in a read only format.
Thank you though for all the memories
Phil Sumbler
Owner, jackarmy.net

I don't agree, Darren. I don"t think the programme makers are putting him up on a pedestal, are they? I don't condone what he did, he's a nasty piece of work, but it's a fascinating story if you're a professional cycling fan.
I've read his (auto?)biography and a couple of other books by cyclists involved with him. I think his childhood shaped him. He grew up in a single parent family, 'trailer trash' if you will, and I think that background gave him a burning desire to win at all costs, plus no moral compass. The result was a driven bully who saw nothing wrong with resorting to drugs to get an edge on the opposition. We're not talking about popping a couple of pills either, we're talking complete blood replacement transfusions. Ych y fi.

It's the 30 for 30 ESPN documentary, it's really good.
A little bit of information though, all athletes bend the rules and some blatantly cheat. Everyone in cycling at the time was doping, he was the poster boy. They're still at it too.
Athletes are still getting banned from tests over 10 years ago. The labs and teams are always ahead of the testers, you can't just label one man as a cheat. It was just everyone surrounding it that was fucked up.
