The latest on Lance

I'm sorry that you have to endure my continuous ramblings regarding Lance Armstrong but I'm an ardent roadie and frankly a large number of my years of cycling have been spent revering Mr. Armstrong and others like him as roll models.  So it pains me greatly that he is being maligned and abandoned.

I am particularly encouraged today by the support that has been provided for Lance by Miguel Indurane, one of the greatest cyclists ever, and Alberto Contador; both of whom feel that Lance is being made the scapegoat for the shortcomings of the UCI.

While I admit that these two individuals have considered the consequences of voicing their support -- perhaps they have no sponsors -- I sincerely hope that this will show the way for others who, like me, feel that Lance, who is admittedly not a saint, is not the pariah that USADA and UCI have made him out to be.
