It's all pretty pathetic. Not too much honorable happening with any of these guys in this situation.

As for Ferrari, some of his explanations for things border on bizarre. Donating blood in the winter to lower your iron because it's too high? What?

Simeoni seems a little suspect as well. But I'm not sure that I see what his motivation would be to bring down Ferrari if there weren't some truth to it all.

Armstrong. . . well, I tell you, I'm a huge fan of his. I'm a little mixed up on how to feel about his behavior with Simeoni at the Tour. As a great champion he probably should have risen above it all and let Simeoni go. However, you need to understand that this kind of personal vendetta crap happens every day in the peloton, both in domestic US racing and in Europe. This one just happened to involve the Maillot Jaune, so everyone noticed it and discussed it.
