IMO, Lance Armsrtong is a hero.

Survives cancer—which many of us don’t.
Continues to compete at the very highest levels.

Passes over 500 drug tests in over 12 years.

Gets accused of misbehavior by others who didn’t pass tests for doping.

Ruling body decides to strip him of his acheivments because of stories from others who didn’t pass tests???

Something is very wrong here.

I sincerely hope that France says he can keep his awards.

Meanwhile, getting punished & put thru the lawyer agitator because of some kind of vendetta from others incapable of pllishing your bike is a travesty.

I understand that he uis pulling the plug on spending more money on lawyers. I hope he can continue to enjoy life.

He doesn’t deserve this, IMO.

From your name, I am guessing you are an avid biker. Me too. So far I have over 1000 miles commuting this year. Hope to hit 2000 by years end.

Lance is not a hero to me, but I do tip my helmet to him for his work ethic, his desire, and his fortitude. He has worked hard for what he has, to the detriment of his family.

I understand why he is stopping all this. He knows what he has accomplished, and how he did it. If, and that is IF, he has cheated, he has cheated himself first. He’ll have to live with it. I really don’t think anybody else is losing sleep over this whole thing.
