I thought that Lance was a cool dude from his books and stuff until I met him at a private party in 2003. He is a DICK. Incredibly rude.
Interestingly, he had dinner at a restaurant the next night where I happen to know the chef. I guess the whole wait staff was excited when he showed up. Then, similar to my experience, they were quite surprised when they realized that he is **not** a nice person.
If you read his books, it sort of makes sense. He has a real "chip" on his shoulder. His father abandoned him and his mother when he was young; the mother remarried a guy who beat him; he hated school and the principals who reprimanded him; he was told he would never amount to anything in cycling (or otherwise); yada; yada; yada...
