You have a good point there! I agree, but 6 straight wins in the Tour de France speak for themselves. That is a fact and not media.

Lance is a phenomena. Sometimes I think having cured from cancer has given him something special against pain. He feels less pain or can cope with pain and fatigue better because of having had cancer and cancer treatment? A normal healthy athlete feels more pain than Lance does? Lance is less scared by pain than others. This is just a mere theory of mine.
