The guy is incredible. He goes from puking blood and chemotherapy to being (soon to be 4-time) champion of the most physically demanding competition on earth. He is the true hero, both athletically and in spirit. If only more people knew...

One of the few true role models out there today, and one of the few people in the spotlight I truly respect. I remember last year's Tour de France when one of the leaders damn well ran off a cliff with his bike. Did Lance take advantage of the situation, like most sane competitive individuals would? No. He slowed down, kept the pace even and waited for the guy to gather himself and catch up before pushing hard again. If that's not sportsmanship, honor and integrity all wrapped up into one I don't know what is... Don't EVEN get me started with the French. There are tribes of Spider Monkeys roaming the Amazon with a better system of government and a better appreciation of ability and talent than the Froggies do. Having lived there and gone to college there for a time, I know from firsthand experience... Remember, France is the other "F" word.

You'd bike faster too if only had 1 nut. Not as much pain crushing one. Ok that was bad.
