I also feel this way. Lance has shown strong solidarity with the riders in defence against rumors and speculation about doping and in defence against invasive testing methods(midnight raids, etc...). This solidarity has been wrongly interpreted as Lance's collusion with dopers, but it isn't. He is a worker in this sport and he has been a supporter of the rights of the workers.
