1. 0:03Lance um you've spoken recently about
2. 0:05the return of even basso and Floyd
3. 0:08Landis um after uh their
4. 0:11suspensions and um compared them to
5. 0:14David Miller and that they should be
6. 0:16welcomed back in the way that David
7. 0:17Miller was welcomed back there was one
8. 0:19obvious diff difference in that David
9. 0:21Miller has been very pronounced in his
10. 0:24anti-doping stance where these guys have
11. 0:26admitted to nothing what is it about
12. 0:28these dopers that you same P Mar so
13. 0:31much excuse me what is your name again
14. 0:34my name is Paul kimage I work for the
15. 0:35Sunday Times I asked for an interview
16. 0:37but I didn't get one right and just as a
17. 0:40little preface I might I might just
18. 0:41clear up one thing the reason you didn't
19. 0:43get it Paul I wanted to make sure that
20. 0:45was you because I don't know what you
21. 0:46look
22. 0:47like when I decided to come back for
23. 0:50what I think is a very Noble
24. 0:53reason you said folks the cancer has
25. 0:57been in remission for 4 years but our
26. 1:00cancer has now
27. 1:02returned meaning
28. 1:05me I am here to fight this disease I am
29. 1:08here so that I don't have to deal with
30. 1:10it you don't have to deal with it none
31. 1:12of us have to deal with it my children
32. 1:13don't have to deal with it but yet you
33. 1:15said that I am the cancer and the cancer
34. 1:18is out of remission so I think it goes
35. 1:20without saying no we're not going to sit
36. 1:23down and do an
37. 1:24interview and I don't think anybody in
38. 1:26this room would sit down for that
39. 1:28interview
40. 1:30you are not worth the chair that you're
41. 1:32sitting on with a statement like that
42. 1:34with a disease that touches everybody
43. 1:37around the
44. 1:39world now to answer your question In
45. 1:42fairness to
46. 1:43you although I'm not sure you deserve it
47. 1:45I will answer the
48. 1:47question I think uh you have to
49. 1:51consider what has happened there David
50. 1:54who I I admire greatly I like a lot I've
51. 1:57always liked David Miller uh was with
52. 2:00his hand in the cookie jar is it heroic
53. 2:02now that that he has confessed some
54. 2:05would say so I applaud him for being
55. 2:06back I I hope he is very successful on
56. 2:08the bike and when he rides fast I think
57. 2:10it's
58. 2:11great Floyd on the other hand um while
59. 2:15there's some you know some would say
60. 2:16there's evidence against him there's
61. 2:17also a lot of evidence in his favor and
62. 2:20as I said in in in an interview the
63. 2:23other day Floyd does not believe that he
64. 2:24is guilty so to appease people like you
65. 2:28and others he can't confess
66. 2:30he doesn't feel like he's guilty he
67. 2:32doesn't feel like he broke the rules you
68. 2:35can't do that just to get people off
69. 2:36your back I think Ivon who I also admire
70. 2:39greatly and it's not admiring dopers or
71. 2:42non-d doopers I I admire these people as
72. 2:44as as persons as people for what what
73. 2:47they stand for as as men do we make
74. 2:50mistakes all of us
75. 2:53absolutely as a society are we supposed
76. 2:55to forgive and forget and let people get
77. 2:57back to their job absolutely
78. 3:01um I'm not sure I will ever forgive you
79. 3:04for that statement and I'm not sure that
80. 3:06anybody around the world that has been
81. 3:07affected by this disease we'll forgive
82. 3:10you don't have a
83. 3:14Cancer and I'm interested in the cancer
84. 3:18of
85. 3:20right I raced as a professional I
86. 3:22exposed it Al then you come along and it
87. 3:26disappears the problem disappears
