From Velonews:

My wife and I, last year we spent most of the year apart. I was racing and living in Italy, and she stayed here and was working in real estate. We struggled a lot, last year was the fourth year (since the positive doping test), and it’s almost like we made it through this dark cloud, but it almost took so much away from us … it almost drained us. By the time we got through it, we had no energy left towards our marriage. But we’re still great friends. She’s my best friend, and hopefully she’ll be my best friend forever. ... She’s a great gal, and without her I don’t know where I’d be today. I leaned on her a lot over the last three years. She really deserves a lot of credit.

Call it schadenfreude but this is good news for some of us swooning Boulderites.

That's really sad, considering how much time they were together during the racing season in his earlier days. I wish they could work it out.

I think he has a new girlfriend. Seems like I read that a couple months back.

He has to say nice things about her because she was in on his doping program (fax from operation puerto to Haven). I think he's an unrepentant doper and liar and I think he's a disgrace to our national jersey.

My husband said "Eh, she probably learned the type of guy that is a doper is also a jerk to be married to." Man I love my husband.

Divorce is heartbreaking on all sides, even though it might be the best solution for those involved. No matter how you feel about a person, a little respect for one's private life (anyone's) is not alot to ask. No one can know what goes on in a marriage or what leads up to the divorce except the couple. Leave it alone.

Wholeheartedly agree - well said.
