Some say that perception is reality and my perception is that the ToC is only now doing the 'right thing' with respect to the open investigation rule to open the door to Armstrong to come back once more.
Messick seems pretty interested in him..
"RadioShack owes us their 12-person provisional roster and we'll see who's on it," he said. "We have no firm commitment from [Armstrong], no commitment from RadioShack. The last we heard was that he didn't know.
"I don't think it hurts the race whether [Armstrong's] in it or isn't in it. I think we're going to have a fantastic field of athletes. Lance Armstrong brings a lot of attention to the sport and has many people who believe in him passionately. I think that having him as part of the race would ensure that a lot of the media would follow the race, and there's something to that even if they're not as focused on what is happening in the race."
