loved the beautiful lie

more than the ugly truth.

The story was

a bestseller for Lance, too.

It made him a fortune

of over $125 million.

That is a bitter truth.

It pays to believe in

winning at all costs.

And the cruelty Lance showed

his enemies off the bike

was the very thing that allowed

him to win on the bike.

People will forgive and forget

and move on, or they won't.

And there will be

plenty of the latter.

Sure.

You know, at some point people will

say, "Okay, here's what happened."

And then judge for themselves.

I mean, I don't know what people

will think in 20, 30, 40, 50 years.

Is the record book still gonna

be blank for seven years?

I guess it will be.

I don't know.

Or do people go...

They look at this thing,

in the context that it is

and say, "Well, yeah.

"He won the Tour de

France seven times."
