I don't remember where I read this, but Lance said that after cancer
treatements destroyed his body he decided that he wanted to rebuild it
into the perfect biking physique. He used to be a triathelete I do
believe and so his upper body was a lot larger than it needed to be for
biking only. So after he kicked cancer he focused on training, more
training, and more training.
A very dear friend of mine had a rare form of bone marrow cancer that
we think she's kicked. She's been free from tumors for the past three
years but she's no where near as atheletic as she once was, and she
really can't be... The drugs that they have her on give her naseua,
dizziness, all sorts of nasty GI problems and she's always tired. And
these are just the drugs to help her recover from the drugs they gave
her while she had cancer!
So personally I think that the argument that Lance's cancer treatments
have made him super-human are total bullshit. The only thing that makes
that guy so damn fast his is training. Jeez, why do people insist on
picking apart someone else's great achievements... Can't we all just
admire the guy for who he is and what he's done?
I feel like Bierdo today, posting crap every five minutes
