When the crap was hitting the fan for Frankie in 2006 I saw him at a race. He looked broken. I asked him how he was doing and he said 'ok', but it wasn't convincing.
What a joke this bullying and intimidation was. Pharmstrong deserves to be ridiculed without limits for what he did to all of these people. His association with the sport, that I started in when I was 11, is an embarrassment. I thought I had seen some sketchy things in my time in the sport, including doping, cheating, complete disregard for the interests of riders by team mangers, unpaid salaries, and duplicitous behavior, but this systematic intimidation and mission to destroy people was worse than anything I could have ever conceived.
Absolutely unconscionable.
