Is that the same Andy Hampsten who supposedly didn't give a cut of his Giro prize winnings to ANY of the 7-Eleven team riders or support staff? This, per a book or column by Bob Roll...

I'm not sure, but that issue has been disputed. Or perhaps taken out of context. I'd like to hear Bobke (or Andy) tell the truth on what really happened. You really don't believe this story, or interpretation of it, is the full judgment of Andy's character, do you?

I wasn't dissing Andy Hampsten. Rather, just dredging up that accusation in the hopes that someone would either refute it or confirm it. It was something I read when I was just a kid, and it really bummed me out as it made Hampsten seem like someone he wasn't. But I don't know the truth...
