Yes Lance did better in the overall time this time - even though he is older. I think it is great he is retiring at the top of his game. Wish though they would focus more on Lance than this "Rock Star Girlfriend Sheryl Crow". Sheryl has her own venue to shine in, let Lance get the kudo's for his efforts.

Girlfriend? I thought they were married?
Anyway,it's good he is retiring while still able-bodied. I get soooo tired of athletes who wont admit to themselves when it's over.

(See:Mike Tyson for "finally got the hint!" :D )
Glad he's done! He should've left after he started biting ears! (..and I don't mean corn! :D )

I always liked him best when he did St. James Infirmary, and that great cornet solo, with The Hot Five (& later The Hot Seven.)

PS:

Sorry about that gag. I, too, admire the man greatly. I figure his first wife, w/ him thru the worst, and he had their reasons for the breakup. Not mine to judge (having two ex's myself.)

. . . are you sure he's not a Brother.

Thought I'd haul this back to the top, as another American has won this great cycle race. In some style, or so I thought. Who am I talking about? Floyd Landis. Sadly he has failed a drugs test. If you cannot win by cheating, why bother?

They're still checking the "B" sample in case there's an error in the original test results from sample "A." Highly trained athletes always have elevated hormone levels, sometimes up to 4x higher than average. Until they've reviewed the original lab results and tested the backup sample, everything's on hold, probably for about 2 weeks.

Cycling analyst John Eustice thinks Floyd Landis' testosterone test could be a false positive. Landis' testosterone levels were low; just the ratio was off. Landis' cortisone shots [for a degenerated hip he's scheduled to have surgery on shortly] or beer drinking could affect that, Eustice said on The Dan Patrick Show.
