Still the same, and a hero to many in cycling, and cancer. I don't care if he lied initially, and knew most likely he took something. All these other althetes just beat the tests, the same way Lance Armstring did. I would also say just about all elite athletes take performance enhancement drugs, not because they have to, but must to compete.

I take EPO, like epogen, procrit, and took anabolic steroids to recover from cancer, and is nothing unusual.
