What's with the spitting? I have been known, at the height of my athletic days (read 16 years old), to spit. But to spit on someone? I'm not sure I could ever do that. (I can barely stand the episode of South Park where the moms are trying to get the kids chicken pox; they make up a game where Kenny spits in Kyle's mouth...ugh.) So how can people spit on Lance Armstrong? Spitting on someone is the most degrading thing I can think of, and they do this to a man who overcame cancer and is on the way to winning his sixth Tour de France. I'll never understand.

And then, he is proving what they always suspected (and hated) about the U.S.: that, in almost any way you can think of, Americans are superior.
I don't mean this in a "nyah nyah, we're better" kind of way, I just mean that the American love of freedom and individual achievement allows for Americans to rise to the top of almost any field they attempt.
I hope Mr. Armstrong psyched himself up for this kind of treatment and is capable of transforming that into more energy to win.
