We all probably wonder where the doper fell off of the tracks. What makes good guys go bad?
Well I have done extensive research and found out that the "All Drug Olympics" were his driver. The thought that he could compete in an arena with no limitations, with no one holding back, motivated he and Dr. Fuentes to take his program to new heights. A hematocrit of 80 finally seemed like a realistic goal, the boundaries of EPO were endless.
Recently, I broke the news to him that the "All Drug Olympics" was an SNL skit and wasn't real. There was not an event, no Stars and Stripes jersey for him. Short of telling him that Santa and Superman aren't real, I could not have crushed his soul any more. After his first stage race win, with everything firing on all cylinders, he quit for the year, not sure if he has it in his heart to continue. Let's hope he can find the motivation to continue. Personally, I am even kicking around getting him some of those gay wrist bands that support drug free sport from Cycling News. Maybe if he believes it is a cultural change, he can find the will to move forward.
If you run into him, please don't break the news that Spiderman is animation in a film, I am not sure his heart can take it. He told me that he intended to climb the outside of the Vectren building all winter to work on core strength. I just didn't have the heart to tell him at the time. Once he hits the sidewalk a couple of times, he will figure it out on his own.
