Wow, this is amazing. How someone could fail so badly at comprehending this whole discussion.
To answer your albeit silly question, YES, it is Lance's fault for stopping the race and causing a scene, and acting out of place. Do you think it was a disrespectful gorilla in a Lance Armstrong suite that did it?
Perhaps you didnt read the thread, or the OPs comments. The discussion here, for lack of your comprehension, is that it was inappropriate for him to do what he did at that time. Nobody is debating anything else.
He can promote his profiteering act, disguised in the whole cancer story all he wants, but you dont stop a race and cause a scene for your personal profiteering product placement. Yes there is a lot of promotion that goes on with the Tour, but first and formost, and above all, its a race, a race that has rules and regulations.
Tell me sir, are you STATING that as a cancer survivor, he is above the law, or above rules and regulations? Your silly question essentially states that.
