It says Christensen is out but I wouldn't be surprised if Riis is still looking for a spot in the sport. A bit more of an uphill climb without the bankroll but he's a scrapper and a force.

I don’t think the last has been heard of him.

Perhaps to sell a book al a Vaughters, Hamilton or others.

^^^ Lance was the best doper of all time, he has been recognized - with a Lifetime Ban.

Riis = just go away.

If Lance had been smarter, he would have never made his 2009 comeback and you are absolutely correct, would never have faced any sanction for his doping.
