Default Says it all really

In the autumn of 1993, Greg LeMond and his wife, Kathy, were sitting at
home in the suburbs of Minneapolis, when they received a visit from
Linda Mooneyham, the three-times Tour de France winner has recalled. Her
21-year-old son, Lance Armstrong, had just become the world champion and
she had travelled from her home in Texas for advice.

"What does he do now?" she asked. "What does he do with his money?"

"Well, let him find an agent – a good one with an attorney," LeMond
replied. "And one word of advice – just be his mom."

They sat on the porch for a while and then moved inside to the kitchen.
Linda had something else on her mind: "How do I make him less of an
asshole. He doesn't care about anyone."

"Well," LeMond replied. "I can't help you there."

Have no fear. He'll find Jesus sometime within a couple of
months.

Yup, I've found Jesus, praise the Lord for saving me, I still didn't
dope after 05, please can I race again...or at least do minor
triathlons...or the occasional half-marathon...please...my whole sense
of self-esteem depends upon me beating people at
something...anything...by any means...please.
