Drivel is in the eye of the beholder. For those of you weaned on D&D, this is the beholder.
Crap, now I'm spewing drivel. It's contagious.

Yes, Lance was FAT pre-cancer compared to post-cancer.
Some say that led to his transformation - but that is plain silly.
The Mental Transformation was at least as important as the Physical imo.
Took mental and will power to keep the weight off. Weighing food etc.
And of course the physical and mental transformation were themselves only part of the story...
George was a stellar classics rider early on too.
And yes, George used Dr Ferrarri and shared EPO with Lance.
Shared like a band of brothers. Shared like BFFs.
Although evidence seems to show Dr Ferrarri backed off a bit with Lance post cancer. Not so sure about George.
Of course, Lance was pegged as a GT winner early on - so it is understandable why their careers varied so much even though the programs and their teams were so similiar.
But both Lance and George were and still are so tough.
Lance has the most TdF starts for a multiple Tour Winner.
George has the most starts for the TdF period.
Healthy as horses those two. Long careers.
Some research should be done to understand why?
I know what Oxford Professor Julian Savulescu would argue...
