create good love sabotage scares system witch year
What scares me is (the re-testing procedure) would create a full-blown witch hunt. This would give them another year to sabotage the system again, and that's not a good thought. I love my sport. I love racing. I feel I have accomplished enough.
backup confirm dealt face followed good positive protocol rest sample
But this thing stinks. It's not good for me. And the unfortunate thing is that you potentially dealt with something that you have to face for the rest of your life. And like I said, the protocol wasn't followed and there is no backup sample to confirm what they say is a positive test.
achieve arrive believe cake came difficult good helped hope hopefully huge icing mentor next plan push taught team top year
So it was a good field, but the most important thing was that the team came up with a very difficult plan for me. Lance helped me a lot and having an idol, a mentor like that to come up with a plan and for me to put the icing on the cake was a huge accomplishment. It taught me that if I believe in myself, I can push my own limits. I hope to achieve that here, next year even more, and hopefully arrive at the top eventually.

Once again I'm reminded of just how pervasive this illness is, as it has now touched someone I love deeply. Based on my contact in recent days with Sheryl, her doctor and her family, I am confident that she will have a full and complete recovery and the world will be a better place for it.
