I think Hamilton's two failed drug tests destroyed his career far more than Armstrong.

That's disingenuous at best. Lance was simultaneously dodging tests while siccing the authorities on any cyclist who dare challenge him on the road.

Lance may have trashed his reputation; but, Hamilton didn't detail Armstrong's doping until after he was serving his second, eight year suspension. (And Armstrong had nothing to do with Hamilton's claim that he was a tetragametic chimera, with two distinct DNA profiles.)

Can you give a rough timestamp for that quote to establish some context?

You can get an exact timestamp. I will show you how on desktop and then you can post it here. 1. Go to the link https://peterattiamd.com/lancearmstrong/ 2. At the bottom "Watch Podcast on Youtube" 3. Click "More" on the Description field 4. It will expand 5. Scroll down past the field to Chapters 6. Scroll past that to "Explore the Podcast" 7. You will see a section titled "Transcript" 8. Click "Show Transcript" 9. A…

Thanks. It's about 2:18:04.

Can you describe in a sentence or two what he has been doing? That 2-hour podcast is quite the commitment.

Having just listened to it seemingly being proud[1] and coming across as completely unrepentant. The podcast only reenforced my view that Armstrong should not be given any form of celebrity or space on any platform. He needs to just go away. 1. "More than anything I'm just really proud...proud I didn't quit...with no support or anything."

In this context he was (1) asked about what he thinks his legacy will be and has mentioned that it would have been different if you asked in 2013, and (2) is talking about being proud of his achievements/choices after his professional cycling career ended, during a period when he was sort of universally reviled by many people. So I can sort of understand why he says "no support." And "quit" in this context might mean "suicide," for what it's worth.
