One sees many of the yellow bracelets being worn up here, too, Bob. And, I agree with everything you said about Lance. He's never rubbed me the wrong way. There's often a fine line between being confident and being brash, and while he may have come close to that line in his younger days, I never thought he crossed it. He was merely being honest (without ever putting down his opponensts - apprently he and Ullrich are very good friends, for example). I'm sure that athletes like Lance, Mario Lemieux and Saku Koivu (a Finn who plays hockey in Montreal), all of who have beat cancer to return to their sports to play at the highest level, must be a huge inspiration to others who are suffereing from, or who have survived cancer. Not to mention that they use their celebrity to spearhead fundraising efforts. cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson
