Just my opinion. Is it possible that Lance is not perfect?
Lance is a competitor. Sometimes you have to intimidate your opponent, and there is nothing wrong with that especially in the pro ranks. You see this in every sport, not just cycling. We all can't deny that Lance respects the sport of cycling and we all know he embraces the competition as does every champion. From Michael Jordan to Pete Sampras they have in their own way used intimidation to sway momentum in their own direction. I am in no way a huge fan of Lance myself, but I do respect the dude.
Has Lance personally done something to you? You seem really bitter about him?
