You said that Lance Armstrong didn't appear gracious in defeat. What does this mean? We do not know what went on between LA and AC. If AC did something underhanded in a back stabbing manner (I'm not saying that he did) then why would one act gracious to them? Why would you go celebrate their victory? To do so would be disingenuous. If it were a baseball game and team A's pitcher purposefully threw at and hit the star batter of team B taking him out of the game should team B be gracious in defeat? I don't understand your logic Keith.
Note from KBJ: This letter is from my friend Kevin in California. My reply to him went roughly as follows: "If something went on behind the scenes, then Lance has a duty to disclose it, so that people may understand what appears to be graceless behavior."
