<p>A very prominent athlete in my sport wrote this before the interviews:</p>
<p>“Even if he admits to ALL of it, and it seems they all are guilty, I’ll still watch the Tour. Lance gave us something to cheer about and anyone who watched the tour during his reign LOVED it. Skipping work to sit on my indoor trainer and ride with USPS, Discovery, and RadioShack during the summer was some of the best summers of my life. I cheered and even bought several bikes and got into triathlons and time trials. I made some amazing friends during those years and found a new way to better fitness thanks to Lance and his crew. His guilt will not affect the memories or the thousands of miles I rode and my love of cycling. Much like those who commit horrendous crimes against humanity, I will focus on the survivors and not the criminals. The positive memories must survive long after this tragedy is over.”</p>
<p>Alexandre- I completely agree. This is a start and I am pulling for Lance to do the right thing going forward. Many, many people made a lot of money due to his success, too.</p>
