Lance Armstrong retiring after this years tour de francais

Wasn't sure if I should post this here, as cycling isn't a sport...

What a surprise! Right after the steroid allegations are charged on him, he decides to retire after this event. I wonder if he really did take them and if they are starting to wear and tear on his body...

I would imagine his body has gone through a whole lot of punishment. My guess is that he is just ready to retire and not that its because of the allegations.
For to win one hundred victories in one hundred battles is not the acme of skill. To subdue the enemy without fighting is the acme of skill.

You do realize the "Bitter Europeans accuse Armstrong of doping" is an annual ritual right? If he was going to quit because of steroid allegation, he'd only have won a single Tour.

last 6 years the french bring up steriods.. and other europeans. the big time Tour guys tho don't say that.

And each year he is clean.. and each year he still owns them all. Some times it was 10 mins sometimes it was 3 mins he won buy it alternates if he was on steriods he would be crushing them

after having cancer most people can't even do half of what he has done. Some can. He has worked crazy hard. I bet his body is about to give (in the sense of Tours)
