i can remember when mary decker slaney crashing out of the olympic 5000m final in 1984 whilst ruining zoe budd's chances.. and all she could do was cry in TV interview, appalling behaviour, and from the partizan crowd in LA.. it wasn't about winning that race, more about the $3m paycheck promise.. since then i have been very sceptical about athletes perception of success. she then failed a urine drug test later in her career (90s)
if Lance ever says 'it ain't about the money, i just want to race'..
then i hope the prosecutors fleece him for every penny.
