Pereiro was less than a minute behind Landis, a rider caught doping. The idea that Landis was wonderful/glorious and Pereiro's performance that was 0.01% worse in time terms isn't anything to write home about strikes me as weird.

Pereiro should be applauded for a great Tour in which he was the fastest athlete who abided by the rules. He has already been gracious enough to not bad mouth Landis after his A sample was positive, or 'usurp his throne' before the results came in and now others should congratulate him with the same grace instead of whining like sore losers.
