That's too bad. Sorry to hear that he is losing the battle with his demons.

No liscence = no testing

I dont feel bad for him at all , if he were on the up and up and trying to do the right thing he would be back in there renewing his liscence.

I don't feel bad that he can't ride...just that I know what it's like to try to kick a bad habit...

We all have bad habits and I can relate to substance abuse problems.....but it just seems like its a never ending cycle of bullshit with the guy and truly if he was earnest about all the crap he says in person and on T.V. then it would show in his actions.

Maybe he should share his stash with a few of the other riders in SoCal. Looks like a few of them need a boost.

I have no doubt that he will be back at some point...ride in a few big races and then disappear again with an 'injury'...I feel bad for him.
