Cycling hero hits a low point

[Jameshow]

Easy to point the finger but it could be any of us....

Could be a business that goes south...

A divorce that is acrimonious.

A Child that dies....

It sounds like he was actively screwed; and especially sadly out of absolutely everything; not just the direct proceeds of his success.

A horrible situation that I hope those responsible are held to account for.

Well he must be desperate. He's got on some show that Lance Armstrong presents - talk about dropping your standards.

I imagine he is desperate and at least needs to keep body and soul together.
I don't think you can be too judgemental when someone finds themselves in such terrible straits.

He's always been an Armstrong fanboy. In 2018 - well after the truth had finally come out - he caused a bit of a kerfuffle naming Armstrong as one of his heroes.

There is an insolvency register where you can search for current cases. AFAIK they drop off after 3 months if the insolvency has met its requirements. His comes to an end on 3rd June 2025 when he can start again - assuming there are no additional restrictions. Bankruptcy these days is much simpler and less stressful than previously as it gives individuals the opportunity to put their lives back together again.
