despite the drugs he's still a bit of a hero (to me) a victim rather than a conspirator which is why i can't put him in the same 'doper' box as armstrong and all the others.
I'm not italian so can't totally understand what he meant to the tifosi but he brought a lot of joy to a lot of people, but paid the price for being a vulnerable and addictive personality in a demanding sport.
RIP
