Lance Armstrong on Joe Rogan

I listen to Joe Rogan's podcast and was surprised to hear our infamous fellow Texan come on as a surprise guest. Rogan provides a pretty objective forum and it's interesting to hear Armstrong open up (and shut down) over the course of the conversation.

I've always been somewhat ambivalent about Armstrong - he was doping in a sport where doping is the absolute norm (I always assumed he was, thought the deniers were naive and took the "revelation" with a shrug) and the Feds are taking an irregular and unnecessary interest in prosecuting him on fairly spurious grounds - but it's difficult to rationalize how he treated some of the folks who came clean about doping while he was still living the Big Lie.
