I remember leaving feeling informed and, perhaps oddly, a little sorry for Armstrong. I'm not sure why, but he seemed to be a victim of his own hype and was caught in a mess of his own making with no way of escape.
This may be hyperbole, but there is something of the Shakespearean villain about him.
