    Quoted message said:

    The Lance Armstrong "story" has the smell of bogusness. Is it possible
    that he and his "handlers" have crafted a saga that targets Americans
    and citizens worldwide that have, in these very troubled and uncertain
    times, a need for superheroes, to give purpose and assurance to
    uncertain lives and weak psyches.

    I have several additional questions:

    1) How did Lance Armstrong beat his testicular cancer which, as he's
    often stated, had spread to his lungs, brains and other areas of his
    body?

    Read the book.

    Quoted message said:

    2) What treatment(s) were used in his "miraculous" cure?

    Read the book.

    Quoted message said:

    3) Why have we not heard about persons with similarly serious cancers
    overcoming their
    afflictions?

    They were not in the public light before their cancer. Otherwise you would
    hear about them.

    Quoted message said:

    4) How, without using steroidal-type chemicals, has he been able to
    WIN 7 TDF RACES IN A ROW, in the face of competitors who were as
    determined as he is and who doubtless as strong and conditioned (or
    steroided) as Armstrong?

    He is more dedicated to winning the TDF than the other guys. He prepares
    better and is blessed with good genes.

    Now put your tin foil hat back on and crawl back under your rock.

    You suggest the Armstrong story has been spun to give the "impression
    of a miraculous cure." I demure. Mr. Armstrong's recovery has
    consistantly attributed to the drug cocktail. This fact is made
    abundantly clear in the Bristol Meyers - Squibb commercials you
    reference. I find it difficult to understand how anyone who watched
    those commercial's could walk away with the "impression of a miraculous
    cure". It is my opinion that it if anyone is spinning it is you,
    and a weak strawman at that.

    I don't think you understand what I said at all.
    Please don't demure on my account.

    I guess you're using the royal we, because many people know examples.
    In particular, runner Steve Scott was diagnosed with testicular cancer
    when he was in his mid 30's, recovered, and ran a 4:08 mile two
    years after his diagnosis. He ran a 4:10 mile at 40 years old, which
    is one of the fastest times in history for that age category.

    You are out of touch. Lots of cancer patients are cured. Lots. Not that
    many have the publicity machines to make as much of it, or the physical
    attributes to display it. Armstrong has made the most of both.

    It would be nice to remember that his is far from the only success story :
    be that in overcoming the disease, riding better than others, or making
    money.

    It is not about the bike, but about PR. And you, clearly, just shy away
    from knowledge, probably figure cancer is infectious, and have a heart of
    ceramic.
