Saw him sitting with a beer in the fan zone watching his son at the WC last year. I can believe his finances have gone to shit, and that he's not in a good place in any number of other ways (seems like ex pro athletes are at quite high risk for this type of outcome). But thankfully he has not lost "everything". For what it's worth, I'm sure the whole cycling community still admires him and is rooting for his success and happiness, in however he chooses to define that.
