Wow, I might have to start singing a different tune here.

Lance is just not my favorite guy. He seems totally narcissistic, self-centered and appears to have absolutely bailed on his wife and kids and then went and had another child with a girl he had dated for what, six months? Nice. Plus,prior to his recent comeback he just never warmed up to the media.

Anyway, today on cyclingnews.com I read a quote that made me do a double take.

"Sometimes I get frustrated with people who criticize his return, and then what, they're going to sign up and cheer when David Millar returns? It's the same thing. You've served your suspension, let's get back on the bike and race," he said, using the EPO-confession of the British star as evidence of the fans' hypocrisy.

"There's no point in criticizing Basso, criticizing Landis, or criticizing anyone… if you've paid your penalty, this is normally how society works. Let's forgive and forget and get on down the road.

"Obviously Floyd's a friend of mine, he's a former teammate and he has a lot of fans. In that sense, you've got to remember that Floyd might have been found guilty but at the end of the trial if you polled the people, 50 percent thought he was innocent – in regard to that it's good that he's back."

I agree 100 percent.

So why am I still buggin'? Because in my humble opinion Lance cheated and never served any suspension. Just the opposite in fact. Because of his connections, celebrity status and wealth he got access to cancer drugs and treatments that mere mortals could not. Everything was totally fast tracked with no waiting period and when he survived he was the media darling. Oh sure, he might be clean now but to me it's like justice never got served.

Whatever.

Good to hear that he's in favor of these guys racing and of forgiving past indiscretions.
