Topic: Lance Armstrong

I don't follow bicycling that much (or sports for that matter), but I've heard the scuttlebutt on Armstrong. And I've seen how cancer just ruins the body, worse than getting shot.

That man's got serious cojones, the fact that he recovered from all that cancer is enough to rate that. The fact that he's won the Tour de France 6 times, something which most perfectly healthy people balk at even qualifying for, stands alone untouched by the rest of humanity.

The thing I hear which gives me the greatest pleasure is all of those hacks (be they French or otherwise) who try to nail him on drugs and having his piss come out clean every time. Bugger that.[/i]
