I like your thinking, but let's make a real equation.
On the plus side: LA advanced cycling in the US; raised money for cancer "awareness" and patient services; he acted as an inspiration to patients.
On the minus side: he used cancer awareness as a propaganda and influence machine, specially targeting victim services to get the most gloss for the buck; he stole the professions of dozens of good, clean up and coming US cyclists; he sued good, honest who told the truth, bankrupting and silencing them; he intimidated potential witnesses; he lied under oath; he accumulated vast personal wealth; built a lie around cancer survivorship (what do you think might have caused that cancer?);and...oh yeah he doped and cheated.
Your ethical math disrespects the victims of this narcissistic megalomaniac. You have not read the USADA Reasoned Decision or listened to the many victims coming forward. You are a sucker basking in the shine that LA falsely created.
