By sheer coincidence at the bottom of the page in the link you provided was a story on Lance Armstrong, and that precise situation is occurring at the moment with him.
Good grief will you guys ever give this non stop Ryanair bashing a rest its just non stop, anything published you are looking for a way to get at them.
Ryanair is a very safe airline, it seems to sicken most of the posters on this forum, you would be thrilled to bits if they had a serious incident.
