i believe that lance's image is slipping in even the eyes of the guys who defend him on this forum. i know it was that way for me....i defended lance even tho i wished he would retire and disappear from the cycling scene.

lance is not a nice guy, he's duplicitous and self-serving and seeks to destroy anyone who defies him. those traits helped him to overcome cancer and become the greatest champion in TDF history but do not serve him well now.

one day lance's behavior is gonna backfire and the press will turn on him, and then he'll be in a fight he cannot win. i believe we are seeing the beginning of that process now.
