His 240km solo effort at Paris-Tours was one of the greatest wins ever and this tourist is referring to him as a "drug addict" with "bi-polar disease"???? WTF???
...I'm no fan of any drug cheats, but if we acknowledge that they're all on something....its hard to be critical of one drug cheat over another....I'm locked out of cyclingforums, but maybe you can remind him that Eddie & lance have also had positive tests to banned substances....he gunna pay out on them too?...mind you it's pretty easy to pay out on anyone when you're an annonymous screen name & don't accept the consequences of what you say. Doesn't really need much courage!. My only problem with Virenque was that he continued to deny it even after he'd been busted...(even wrote a book saying he was innocent!)....If I had any respect for drug cheats, (which I don't really!) I could respect someone like millar who at least 'fessed up. Can't say the same about Tyler....WTF chromosone disease is he on about?
