Watched most of part one last night, pretty damn good. He seems to be giving an honest account of his career and the sport. Complicated person - cancer survivor who started a movement and probably raised more money for cancer research than any other person in history. As a sportsman, he cheated and tried to ruin the lives of anyone that attempted to out him. That last part is far worse than the doping, which was almost universally prevalent in the sport at that time. I remember ESPN showing a graphic of the 22 riders that came in 2nd to 5th place in the 7 TDFs that Lance won. 21 of them were caught doping and the 22nd was under investigation, but retired.
Someone posed the following about Lance, saying it is complicated to assess him. Is he a good person that did some bad things or a bad person that did some good things?
Great documentary, well done.
