team rwanda
Ben Trovato
you wondered whatever happened to J. Boyer, he's managing Team
Rwanda. I also learned that he was a vegetarian in the peloton, after
his mother had clothed, housed, and educated him thanks to her
inheritance from the Swift meat-packing fortune. The young members of
team Rwanda had to overcome hunger, illiteracy, wooden bikes, and the
legacy of genocide.

The article is worth paying for at your local newstand.

I think it's worth you scanning it and posting it.

It's in my pile of unread New Yorker magazines...
Another good article on Boyer appeared in Bicycling Magazine a couple years ago.
Here's a version on the web without pictures:
The Impossible Redemption of Jonathan Boyer
Does the best thing you do in your life make up for the worst thing you've ever
done? This cycling hero--and convicted felon--might get closer to an answer than
any of us.

I recall this being a much more thoughtful article than I expected...
