Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I think your litmus test fails.
Nope, they're games. Played hard and with risk of injury, of course, but they're still games.

Is Lance a "sport"? (sport : A plant or an animal, or part of a plant or animal, which has some peculiarity not usually seen in the species.)

From his VO2 max to his ******* status, to the fact he's one the Tour 7 times - I'd say Lance is one h3ll of a good sport. How 'bout you?
