Where have all of our heroes gone…?

Reports of bullying teammates into illegal drug use, pushing them to do it his way or hit the highway, exemplifies the powerful manipulation that allowed the secret to corrupt and erode the field of cycling.

Libya: The Death of a Dictator
When death, destruction and fear based laws are inscribed in the way of life, it would seem that before freedom is understood and created, the survivors of the dictators’ rule would need an emotional debriefing.Trust. Anxiety. Fear. Nightmares. All of these will be part of their healing process. If they can heal through some of the trauma of survivorship, they can begin their individual journey of being curious about what life could be like for them. It can begin a time of inquisitiveness, the exploration of the souls journey and the patching of a culture where the cloth of death, spotted with the blood and torture of many, has time to mend.
