Still cycling and still another tremendous event, after what I told regard Marco Pantani.
Life is made up of unexpected events, surprises and choices.
Lance Armstrong had surprised the world years ago, returning to professional cycling after defeating cancer.
He won 7 consecutive Tour De France, becoming the most titled and strongest cyclist of all time.
The sporting fame was added a human reputation, that of a champion who had defeated cancer, had returned, had been able to redeem himself and in doing so had helped many people on a moral and self-esteem pushing them to give their best even in the worst moments of a disease so bitter.
That's why when we discovered that those businesses were centered on a lie we were overwhelmed by fury, bitterness and a veil of sadness towards a man who had beaten the cancer but then lied to everyone by making systematic use of doping substances for years and years , depriving other riders of those successes and us fans of our dreams.
The era of dreams, hopes, illusions had ended with the announcement of the positivity of the Armstrong.
After that also life, the adult one would have presented the bill, an account made of bitterness, betrayed hope, illusions disregarded.
