typed a post and lost it heart breaking. the re-type;
This is such a great debate, i wanna add my two pennies.
But first Ro-land was your play the one featured on resonance fm's cycling show a while back? about armstrong/ulrich/pantani? If so wish id seen it, i dont know how visual it is but would you ever consider recording it as a podcast? (or do you already have radio 4 asking for it?)
While im on the subject why does that resonance cycling program not advertise more on here? they'd get loads more listeners, id love to hear velocio interviewed on it ..... unless this has already been done and ive stuck my foot in it.
My opinion;
yes i think he took drugs (but in an era when every took drugs that doesnt matter to me) and yes i think hes a bully and probably not the great person on earth - he is not my hero - but i do think coming back from cancer to win seven times is simply unbelievable and for that i have a huge amount of respect for him. And then, as someone close to cancer myself, he work for charity is incredible.
