He has a right to write whatever he wants. It sounds like you really want to believe Lance is doing this to hurt Justin, which is fine, but please do not go ahead and assume that Lance wrote this without permission. When Justin sues Lance, or when Lance and Justin get into a fistfight and it makes the tabloids, then we can say he didn't ask permission. But for now - in order to keep this board neutral - I don't see why we can't just give people the benefit of the doubt.
I never said anything like that. I was replying to Jamie who seems to think Lance knows what went on behind closed doors after reading one or two sentences from the book.

I didn't say Lance was purposely trying to hurt Justin at all. If we're going to give people the benefit of the doubt, how about you do that with me? If you think I'm bashing Lance, ask me to clarify before you assume that's what I'm doing.
