First he lost the red cape, then the rest of his blue dress. Naked, smile gone, no shiny teeth anymore: poor poor ex-superman.

Sponsors jumping off, all sports titles gone, witness reports of intimidation, mobbing and character assassination to blackmail people to keep the dirty secrets, reputation as cheater established probably - and hopefully - for life.

How was he heroized when Jan Ullrich fell: how innocent he was declared, how shiny and glorious.

How "surprising" now to learn that in fact he is not one inch better.

I maybe could forgive the doping (I'm for legalizing it anyway, for pure pragmatic reasons), and the lying. But not the violence in form of intimidating, mobbing and character assassination of former employees. Such acts reveal more about character than just cheats in sports.
