Very sad. An extremely talented rider with serious mental health issues that he could only deal with the wrong way.

Sad.. Makes me wonder of the health consequences of pros constantly keeping their heart rate up near 100% of capacity.

I like what he is quoted as saying in this article. In essence, "yes I doped, but so did everyone else in that race." No **** Sherlock. Just wish everyone had the guts to come to terms with this. Pro riders dope. Period.
