I voted hate because he's a manipulative, scheming, cheating, bottom feeder of the lowest order
Lance. Are you a lover, hater or neutral?

Lance Haters - Do you
a) love 'em
B) enjoy a good argument with 'em
c) hate 'em (such an ugly word)
d) feel sorry for them and hope they find peace and happiness one day
Not (d) I intend to remain bitter and twisted for ever

I wonder what the people who love him base their judgement on? After all, they don't know him any better than the haters....

You need more categories in the voting list. I would like to vote "admire/slightly dislike" ;-)
I admire many aspects of what he has achieved, but as a person (as much as you can know anyone you don't know) he appears to me to be arrogant - the "I would have kicked their asses" comment, the constant reminders that he has won 7 tours (really? Have you Lance? I had forgotten that since yesterday, when you last mentioned it).
He is certainly not all bad, but my opinion of him has lowered since he retired. Maybe all that hob-nobbing with the Hollywood set has made him forget who he is. I don't recall him being so arrogant before he retired, but then maybe when he was winning being able to back it up and no-one being able to challenge him made it look less arrogant. Dunno.
Has anyone else gone off him since retirement?

That was a retweet of something that Leipheimer posted. Attacking was a stupid move though.rich p said:

Comeback in the TdF in his late 30's? Got more balls than me.

I was living in Oslo in 1993 during the cycling world championships. It was before I had an interest in cycling, but remember him winning.
The next I heard about him was when he was diagnosed with cancer. I casually followed his recovery and rehabilitation, and became more interested in him, and cycling, after his first tour victory.
Obviously I din't know the man, but I admire him and like him for the person I see him to be.
And he's in my fantasy TdeF team!
