Simply remarkable. I watched his story on Good Morning America last week. A well-deserved win, and a fine human being.

 

As a french guy, i can't but bow to the performance and courage of such a man who was all along the "tour" much appreciated by ALL his fellows in the bunch
Cheers,
Hervé

 

Hm... dunno.
To me it's just sounding a little bit too familiar...

No offense, and congrats to the dear lad.
But I hope next year 'the pack' will have the guts to attack some more!



Au revoir!

YOU SEE?! I JUST KNEW IT!
Something fishy about this guy...
Darn! This is sóóóó bad for the sport.

Shame on him if he did it.

I'm in favor of either:
Or you let all dope run free for all in the peloton;
ór you act upon zero-tolerance.
In this last case the consequence is a ban for life (not for just a few years.)


It's about time the public get to watch athletes with equal chances again; one way or the other!
(I really don't care; it's not my body their messing with)
I'm just fed up with being deceived! <snip> I say: Hang him high
