Regardless of the methodology used, and I would suspect that most of Lance's serious competitors were skating on the same thin ice.

Lance was/is simply an exceptional individual.

OK to put yourself through the pain and grind (despite the drugs) to win once.

But to repeat 6 more times, takes an unusual mental attitude, to say the least.

A driven individual, who would have been seriously competitive without the questionable medical regime.

Being personable is not necessary to win, fairly or otherwise.

And btw I thoroughly enjoyed watching Bradley Wiggins win as well, who appears to be much more personable, but must be somewhat tough beneath the surface veneer, or he would get tramped/cycled over .

I dont cycle but enjoyed Lance's book "Its not about the bike" simply because the title was so apt.

Cheers

Marcus
