His legacy will definitely not be clear cut. He and the foundation he created have raised millions of dollars for cancer. However he did cheat, although everyone else was too. Also, though, he (or at least his lackeys) strongarmed and threatened those who spoke against him. He files lawsuits and cost other people millions of dollars. Also, he is not exactly living on the streets. He has made millions of dollars from his fame from cycling and Livestrong. Really hard to determine his legacy right now. Guess just have to wait and see how he reacts and acts from now and going forward.
Also, apaprently he has made deals to testify in exchange for being allowed to compete in some sporting events. So is he doing this because he feels guilty and wants to make ammends? Or is he doing this because he finally got caught and is trying to get something in exchange for doing the right thing? Finally Lance definitely likes the limelight, is this just another way for him to get attention?
So do the ends (Livestrong) justify the means (doping and strong arm tactics)?

It's not that he was doping, everybody who was an elite cyclist was doping at that point, well anyone who wanted to win the Tour... The issue is that he lied about it for sooo long and filed lawsuits, he should have come clean like Landis, Hamilton, etc.
Landis was a middle of the road mountain biker before he started doping 4 years later he won the tour... It changes everything...

Video
About a week ago
Travis Tygart, chief executive of the US Anti Doping Agency told Scott Pelley that Armstrong threatened to shoot him
Now he has offered the USA-D Agency $5 million which they have declined. After watching the first video above there are others that are up to date.
