I agree with this. Pantani was still romanticized but he was absolutely hounded by the press.Pantani only became the mythical figure he is today again after his death, when he was still alive Madonna was hanging like a cloud above his head.
A national hero when he won, an outcast when he got busted, a mythical figure after he died. My dad used to say if they'd have treated him like a normal human all the way, maybe then he'd still be alive.
