Should athletes in any sport be permanently banned for doping?

Lance Armstrong is innocent. He was set up and I still believe in Lance. I read his books, I bought a Trek Bike and I bought a Livestrong jersey and I still believe in the greatness of Lance. I watched Lance Armstrong epic 7 Tour De France Title wins during 1999 to 2005 and his Gold medal wins. Lance was the man!

Lance Armstrong is not innocent, he knew what he was doing and people who deny this are either stupid or just blindly refuse to accept it due to their bias for the person. Lance Armstrong was even on a program a few weeks ago joking about the whole thing, he was quite funny to be fair and to be watching him talk about it and basically taking the piss out of himself because of what he did.
