...Yea maybe....unfortunately, My one and only experience was negative...not that my opinion matters though. Kinda of a moot point anyway, the kid died. But hey Im sure glad ole Lance survived HIS ordeal though....

Muscleman is correct. I mean, lance is a bike riding machine, for crying outl oud, and to have been as close to death's door as he was. I find the whole thing quite inspirational. I don't have a clue what happened in his personal life. As long as he is a good dad and continues to be a positive role model, what more can we ask of him?

I am a Live Strong supporter and I do wear a yellow band. Anyone who can bring a bit more attention to the horrible disease of cancer is worth my respect. I have read both his books and also any other book I can find on him.
I also am an avid cyclist and to think about winning the tour once is amazing but going for 6 in a row is superhuman. I believe him when he says he is clean, how can I not. I dont know him personally, how can I judge him.
As far as his personal life heck I am divorced and a weekend Dad does that make me a horrible person? Just curious.....

I'm an avid cyclist as well. My opinion is that he's a monster on the bike! There are some bumps (compared to the alps anyway) around my house that I ride up. The longest one is about 1 1/2 miles long. I'm usually spent at the end of that climb. I can't imagine going up a much steeper 10 mile hill at the end of a 90 mile ride! As far as his personal life goes, I'm sure there are only a small circle of people who know what really happened between him and his first wife. I'm not in that circle, so it isn't my place to judge.
