RacerX worded it a bit stronger than I would have but I agree with his sentiments.

The truly important issue is that the young man is dead, to the great shock and agony of his teammates and friends and to the unendurable grief of his family. While posts on this forum are almost certainly unknown to his mourning family I do think it proper to show some decorum and hold off on the speculation.

Even if further toxicology shows some linkage to performance enhancing drugs it would not, in my opinion, change the tragedy of a young man dying. Perhaps age is mellowing me but 23 is way too young to die and when something like this happens it's just sad.

I hope his family can eventually find peace and that Fabrice has found eternal peace.

I don't think there's much more to say.
