Phil Liggett\u00a0was crushed by the seven-time Tour de France winner\u2019s doping usage.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I built him up. I created him into a great cyclist, and he was, even though he took drugs. On the other hand, I feel hurt and cheated that we made him look better than he should&#8217;ve and turned him into a star. To be fair, it wasn&#8217;t just Lance. Pretty much all the top names were doing it, some of whom were never caught. &#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s hard to simply say, &#8216;I hate Lance Armstrong.&#8217; And I never would. The guy was still an incredible talent and a brave man. He was virtually dead with cancer but became a life support for millions of sufferers. He spent incredible hours helping those people and raising money,&#8221; says Ligget.<\/p>\n<p>Do you agree? Can you see the good side of Lance Armstrong?<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Respect the cyclist<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2016\/02\/Odstup-post-inst-en-01-1-1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-133337\" src=\"https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2016\/02\/Odstup-post-inst-en-01-1-1-600x600.png\" alt=\"Respect the cyclist!\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>We published the infographic about how the drivers should respect cyclists and it caused quite a stir.
