Armstrong

Armstrong invited to the Champs-Élysées?

Wonder if he's going to Le Champs this year in Paris?
All riders who finished the Tour are invited to the finish.
Discounting his 7 'wins' he did finish 36th in 1995 - technically he's on the guest list?
The tension mounts!

Him and Vaughters have been chatting?

Lance Armstrong - which came first?

We'll all be aware of the doping debacle and Lance Armstrong, particularly in light of the upcoming interview.

Armstrong has been accused of being a protagonist of doping within the sport. Clearly doping should not be tolerated.

I wonder though, did Armstrong adopt doping as as the only way to get to the top (and the real earning region) within a sport where he already knew doping was rife, or did his success create a situation where other competitors could only win if they doped, thus exacerbating the problem?
