If this applies only in Madison, WI.........well, I suppose that I have no refutation for that...........however, the fact that there are tens of thousands of Lance Armstrong's seems to dispute your position on the matter.

So for every Lance Armstrong we have, assuming he has not done anything to harm his body, how many others are there that do or have done something in their past to harm their body? Anyone you know of that hasn't done something abusive to their body in the form of over indulgence, taking unnecessary risks, etc etc? I don't know a single person that hasn't done some form of abuse at one time or another and I am not talking of a one nighter of heavy drinking or a time or two of drug abuse. What about not exercising enough? Not getting enough rest? How about not eating the recommended diet? How much longer a list do you want? Like I said, few people are truly victims of circumstances. A baby born with a genetic disease definitely is. What about you? Every do anything that isn't recommended to your body? I know I have. Look at your family next. How many do you know that treat their body like it should be in the books? Go further and see how many more you know.
Assuming LA is the model of how we should treat our bodies, tell me how many LAs there are as opposed to Citizen Joe who has at one time or other abused his body. What are the odds of meeting someone who has treated his body so well that he has not found ways to abuse it and thus create a situation he needs help with later on. Show me one such individual and I would think that there are many more who aren't like that.
