Its never been done before and there is a good chance it will never happen again. One of the biggest stories of the year after natural disasters.

Rafael Palmeiro was his room mate. And I hear Canseco just aquired the book rights.

This man has nothing to prove to anyone. The french never liked him because he did something a frenchman (or anyone else for that matter, but the french take it personally, its their race) has done!

I think he'll overcome the latest controversy and his legend will be validated. Unless you've done an endurance sport, you have no concept of the enormity of Armstrong's feat. It's ironic and perverse, but his cancer actually contributed to his success. It transformed his body type from relative chunky (and relatively unsuccessful) to a lithe body perfectly suited for climbing mountains.

Its a great human interest story that he was able to accomplish all that he did after overcoming cancer, but most people didn't even watch the Tour De France. There wasn't even any suspense about him winning it which would make it watchable.

The only reason this doesn't rate a 5 is b/c Lance is dating Cheryl Crowe who, when asked about alternatives to attacking Iraq, astutely observed that the best way to avoid entering into conflict is to not have enemies.
