First let me begin by saying that I do respect Lance's accomplishments. He has set some records that will stand for atleast 7 more years at a minimum and probably alot longer than that. But do not sell his team short here. Do you think that if Lance were a member of the last place team for those 7 years that he would have accomplished what he has?

As far as Lance being a savior and idolizing him. Koffee had it right. Everyone pails in comparison to God. Christ is my Savior. After all he gave his own life for my salvation. And while God does teach us to love one another he also commands us to have no other 'gods' before him.

And and "old fashioned role model". I am sorry but any man who can leave his wife after she has stuck by his side during the most trying time of his life, is not someone I can look up to. And is definately not old fashioned.

Again I respect his accomplishments and he could kill me in any bike race. But I do not feel that he is deserving of anymore than that.
