Sad. Very Sad. Armstrong COULD have been a Ted Williams or Rocky Marciano and retired as "The Champ". Instead, he is gonna be a Pete Rose or an Ali...staying until he has become a joke.
The odds Armstrong will be on the podium in Paris in 2009? Zero. The odds his LOSING the Tour in 2009 will support the growing belief that his priors victories were fueled by illegal drugs? About 1,000 percent.
