    But she is still a hot mess.

    I think that there’s a level of anger at Lance that is out of proportion to the offense of doping...Because let’s face it, he’s a bicyclist. I don’t condone doping, I don’t condone breaking the rules. What I have said to him and what I’ve written is that I forgive him. I don’t condone it, but I forgive him. I think that doping is so endemic in cycling, apparently, that it was the price of competing in that era. Do I agree with it? Do I like it? No. I don’t have the heart to be full of rage at him. I just don’t. People are going to have to accept that I don’t feel that for him. I feel disappointment. But he’s my friend.

    It is his word versus ours. We like our word. We like where we stand and we like our credibility."--Lance Armstrong.

    Saw her earlier this week on Charlie Rose. She seemed to feel that the culture of cycling and its governing bodies were equally to blame -- also a a bit starstruck and unable to imagine that the person she knows was capable of trashing the lives of anyone who opposed him. Part of it may be because she made a ton of money from his books, but also because she's naive.

    Yeah, she's naive..........naive all the way to the bank....

    She served LA well as 'chief propagandist'. Did you know that she and Liggett are distant cousins?

    She's probably now working on angles for the comeback book "Lance Armstrong: The Resurrection"

    it will be odd for him to work with her on his next book, assuming he'll finally tell the truth.

    Come on Mikee, as if Sally were another Josef Goebbels.
    She could live with Lance the pop star, and now she can live with Lance the non star.
    We in America build, to tear our heroes apart.

    Oh my friend flicka, you are truly a horse's ass.

    Your disgraced demigod 'built up' cycling by some accounts, and now he has 'destroyed it' as well. All for his own profit and sociopathic ego.

    Jenkins is just 'too kind'. She's got hers, after all.

    1-2-3-4-5-6-7 STOLEN, DOPED, FRAUDULENT Tours de France, the biggest sporting fraud in history, abetted by the likes of Jenkins, Liggett, Ferrari, Bruneel, etc and millions of gullible idiots....like you.

    Actually, to put it in a cynical way, Armstrong built cycling for TREK, OAKLEY, BERRY FLOORS, LIVESTRONG ETC.

    Without his sponsors Lance is nothing. See his 75 Mil. hit. OUCH, that hurt.

    Don't tell me that multi-million dollar sponsors,(or countries, see Katusha, Astana.) are naive about their sports heroes.

    Why does she, and similar supporters, continue to think his case is just about doping?

    Jeez Sally....you made your bank from Lance. Pretty easy to forgive him. How about the Andreus, Emma O'Reily, Greg Lemond, et al......wonder if they will be so quick to "forgive" LA.

    Keith is spot on - she is a hot mess.

    Just say "NO!!" to WCP!
