I've lost some weight, and when I ride, i feel better. When I don't ride, I feel not as great. My back hurts more, my energy is down, and I feel like a fat pig. So now I see this doping thing, and you know what, I don't really care. That article about Lance got me to ride, got me more concerned about my health than I was before. So hats off to you Mr. Armstrong, I thank you. Your story may have very well changed the course of my life. I stand with Lance, no matter the outcome.
