Great article on Nicola Spirig today, but I better point out a spelling/grammar error or people might get the wrong idea. "While some thought it was an abortion," ( I think the term meant was aberration |

I am very new to Cycling so follow it more now than I did in the past. I have read all of Lance Armstrong books, and books about him. He made a strong and positive impression on me, in particular the way he was very open about his cancer and his treatment and the anguish and pain that he felt. None of us who have not been exposed to this disease really, really know the fear and pain that these people go through. We know the terms chemotherapy and radiation, but we don''t really know what they are like. He educated me and many others. There have been other top athletes who have fought back from adversity and illness but I can't think of one who made such a huge impact as he has. You have to give him a lot of credit for that.
As for doping, I firmly believe in innocent unless proven guilty, and he has never tested positive. If they are catching people like Rebellin, Schumacher etc, why would they not catch LA if he has been taking something all these years?
