When I knew Lance was retiring I chose a new favorite rider. That rider is Ivan Basso. I have followed his career closely for the past 3 years and I'm a big FAN. My 2 year old cat is even named after him: Basso, a cute orange tiger kitty.

I've been deeply disturbed these past weeks with news that the case has been opened up again. I came back from my ride today and read about him leaving Discovery, I was floored....

I've always gone with the innocent until proven guilty stance, we'll just have to wait and see what happens on May 2nd at his hearing.
