As an eternal fan of Roger Decoster I was somewhat saddened to hear of his recent health problem.
from http://www.how2ride.com/albee/rams.html :
"Roger has had an ulcer for quite a while and it eventually got so bad that he almost died. His blood pressure dropped dangerously low because of loss of blood, and after being rushed to the emergency room he was immediately placed in intensive care. I’m very happy to say that he is recovering extremely well and is as strong as an ox. As a pro athlete we learn to put pain and other ailments out of our minds and go on with life normally. This can be positive to a point as long as we don’t let things go too far. Please keep Roger in your prayers and if you would like to send him a get-well message, I will be sure to pass it on to him.
