It's Not About the Bike -- It's Either About the Dope or the Cancer
It's possible that having cancer in your balls, brain and lungs would be the most depressing thing that could ever happen to you but apparently there are other possibilities.
Everyone has their Lycra in a twist because Lance Armstrong, although never admitting he had been doping, has resigned from everything because of the allegations.
The alleged doping scheme is more complex than every maneuver conducted during World War II multiplied by ten. Who can be bothered trying to figure it out? Let's just say that every cyclist who races professionally is juiced and a lot of them got that way thanks to Lance.
He's been stripped of his seven Tour de France titles, his Live Strong cancer charity, and his dignity. People are wiping their asses with his autobiographies.
Let's just say we have mixed feelings about the whole thing. It amazes us that this man can even get out of bed without injecting himself with powdered rhino horn. Beating the cancer that almost killed him is quite a feat in and of itself. Riding a bike faster than anybody else pales, roids or not.

Les Bicyclettes De Belsize

Lance Armstrong is one of my personal heroes. Take a guy, give him testicular cancer that travels to his brain and lungs, and he still wins the Tour de France seven times! You should pardon the expression, but that takes balls.
Since Armstrong last rode in the World's Most Famous Bike Race, he and Sheryl Crow broke up and he actually managed to get his girlfriend (not Sheryl Crow) pregnant without science intervening. Little Max is now a month old! Plus Lance loves to Twitter!
Well, Lance is back in the saddle for the Tour de France again. He and his mates were fined $92 for not showing up 20 minutes before check in time for today's leg.
Lance blamed it on Ben Stiller. Said he made him late and besides that the traffic in Marseille was terrible.
You go, Lance!
