An amazing career. He's accomplished a tremendous amount both within the sport and by helping empower cancer patients.
louiebaurJun 29, 2010
He had a great run!
winklemanJun 29, 2010
Great athlete and role model, but he's said this all before. I wish him luck, but I'll believe it when I see it.
davidtcJun 30, 2010
You saw it before though.
ciarJun 30, 2010
yeah, he is such a great role model that he cheated on his wife
ciarJun 30, 2010
yeah, he was such a great role model when he cheated on his wife
arschgaudiJun 30, 2010
When exactly did he cheat on his wife?

Don't miss out on July 24, 2010, the 15km time trial stage. Lance Armstrong will be racing like there's no tomorrow. (Traditionally, the leaders don't attack on the next and final stage of the Tour de France).
ericdanoJun 30, 2010
Well, that isn't always true. Leaders attack when they see weakness. Generally, its in the mountains though last year there was that stage where Lance got ahead of Alberto due to a break that formed due to the crosswinds.
Team Radio shack has A LOT of great cyclists on it. I can't help wonder what last years Tour would have been like if Levi hadn't messed up his wrist......Lance could have gotten 2nd
wafflecake18Jun 30, 2010
He didn't attack on the last stage though. I don't remember ever seeing that. The only thing I remember that comes close is the time that Vinokourov jumped from 7th to 6th when he attacked on the last stage. It's kind of an unwritten rule that you don't steal a podium spot on the last stage.
sacrabosJun 30, 2010
That's only true for the final stage. If the next-to-last is a time-trial, they will go all out.
fordrewJun 30, 2010
Didn't he say that last year would be his last Tour de France?

I think a lot of people care, i know i personally do. What this man has accomplished without having cancer is tremendous, now factor in the cancer aspect... Amazing really.
kinkykingkalJun 30, 2010
Yeah, they're starting to crack down on people using performance enhancers. He wants to quit while he's ahead and not caught.
bosuuJun 30, 2010
They have been cracking down on people using performance enhancers for years. And there is not a chance in hell they were not testing him like crazy before and will be doing the same now.
danj484Jun 30, 2010
Starting?
ericdanoJun 30, 2010
He is tested ALL THE TIME. Look at his twitter. He's clean. He trains like a MOFO.....that is the secret to his success. And his unique physique. Discovery had a great thing about him during the 2005 season. His heart is bigger, etc,etc.
reeferchiefer42Jun 30, 2010
Doping != juicing. Research the differences yourself, you could use the experience, as clearly you don't know what the hell you are talking about.
remeloxJun 30, 2010
And he's been tested for both more than any other athlete in the world. Not sure who you are responding to since no one used either term.
reeferchiefer42Jun 30, 2010
So simply because you are tested for being in the spotlight, we should automatically suspect him of being guilty?
sllewJun 30, 2010
Whatever Brett Farve.
ludarJun 30, 2010
Brett Farve was copying him, Lance has been saying he's retiring since his 5th tour de france win.
strfxJun 30, 2010
But Favre's performance still hasn't really dropped off its peak. Had one coin toss gone differently last year, we'd have probably seen him in the Superbowl finals...
666doradoJun 30, 2010
faVRe, not FARVE. learn how to spell and pronounce his name, retards....
Closed AccountJun 30, 2010
I thought he said that last time.
georgetirebiterJun 30, 2010
Cycling is a sport with a definite performance curve correlated to age. Still, it is fun to watch Lance beat up on younger riders. It soothes my aged heart.
centranJun 30, 2010
If it wasn't for the fact of screwing over his team I say he should come in dead last. When the press asks him what went wrong he should simply say he wanted to enjoy the scenery for his last race.
Why not? It doesn't matter what he does. I don't think whatever he comes in as will ruin his reputation. That is as long as this is really his last race.Comment is buried, click here to see the rest.

ghostalkerJun 30, 2010
I'll bet the French are regretting all the bad-mouthing and drug allegations they made now.
cansailorJun 30, 2010
He like other American athletes either find it very expensive to continue purchasing steroids. Or the masking agents will eventually fail and they will be found out like other cheats.Comment is buried, click here to see the rest.

What? Jealous that Canada is pathetic at everything?
aufteJun 30, 2010
@BookaShade
Wow, I think what cansailor said was pretty stupid, but f**k you and get the f**k out of my country.
bookashadeJun 30, 2010
Trust me I wouldn't want to stay in Canada anyways aufte. I'd rather not die of boredom.
Your country is a imitation of the United States. A sad weak imitation. Comment is buried, click here to see the rest.
splicerslicerJun 30, 2010
Give it a rest, seriously. Aren't you a bit tired of making these accusations with no premise?
cansailorJul 2, 2010
Jealous, no. The truth will come out as it has been. Read the news. Look at baseball, US football, other US atheletes.
wafflecake18Jun 30, 2010
Lance is still good, but he's old. I've got Contador for the win again. He's got a shot though, since he has two previous podium finishers on his team in Levi and Kloden.
xeriscapedJun 30, 2010
Is the performance enhancing drug testing getting that much better that he has to quit now?
drumercalzone09Jun 30, 2010
In other news, Brett Favre retires from the Vikings.
ac3boyJun 30, 2010
I thought he only likes a text message. What a hypocrite!
topwolfJun 30, 2010
So this statement is the precursor to him going into retirement then announcing to the world he is coming out of retirement to compete.

They must have finally found an accurate test for expensive blood doping.

He is a fantastic athlete but let us never forget he only has one testicle. He is NOT a man.
paultripJun 30, 2010
yawn....... he is just a publicity hound. He needs the spot light. I feel for the cancer part but even assh**es get cancer, that does not change what a jerk he is....unfortunately!Comment is buried, click here to see the rest.
