This nothing to do with the doping case, but his serious illness several years ago.

This was posted by someone over at CN. Footage of the incident. As someone who lost a 25 year old cousin from an epileptic fit, I have a lot of sympathy for him. He could have been a great role model.

The relevant part is from 2.47-3.17

  • Woof that's tough viewing.

    In many ways there's a similarity to Armstrong.Never mind what you think of him as a rider/doper, no one likes to see another human being go through something as tough as that
  • I posted that video, maybe in the Contador thread, and no one seemed to care. Says a lot about people, regardless of whether the rider is someone you dislike.

    Rich, you should look into the work he and his brother do for others. Very commendable. Sastre is another who does good work.
    Contador is the Greatest

    No, I remember both the link and the thread, Frenchie. IIRC, people did say nice things about Bertie, and his good works.
