I remember a few of the flame wars with the Armstrong acolytes here. They got quiet in a hurry when the media couldn't cover for him any more. I don't think Woods ever had more than a few defenders around here.
I raced from ‘75 to ‘93. Armstrong broke all the unwritten “rules” that made the powers that be look away. If he’d been less greedy he could have remained one of the 4-5 tour winners for history.
