The second, in cycling, nobody cared what color you were! You could either ride or you couldn't! The Russians didn't come to the Olympics because of a boycott. They didn't come because drug testing was brought out to a global spotlight and everyone on every team was doping! US media, ALWAYS needs a story, Nelson was it. This movie provides funds that go to his foundation that helps kids and the cycling community.

I think it is a great story, shows what hard work & determination can get you and where it can take you. The world needs REAL role models..
