I would hardly say that Lance has been sitting on his ass in front of a TV, gnawing on a 
fudgesicle and watching Saturday morning cartoons these past years! Can you say CANCER??
 
Granted he's been in some high profile romances, but if it were low key the press would still make a big deal about it...I agree that some people have too much time on their hands if they feel the need to badmouth others, regardless of whether or not they're famous!
 
Maybe he wins, maybe he doesn't...but in the long run, getting off YOUR ass and helping society is more important!!

Who's this Lance person that seems to be attracting so much attention?

Back in May I noticed a distinct lack of buzz on the OBRA list when
Jeannie Longo-Ciprelli showed up for the Mt. Hood Cycling Classic.
This was like Madonna dropping in on a PDX music festival. Jeannie
was kicking ass when Lance was on his in front of a TV, gnawing on a
fudgesicle and watching saturday morning cartoons. Lance "retired"
and is now deciding to come back. Jeannie never left and never
stopped kicking ass. There are other pro cyclists that have actively
done more for the sport of cycling, for cycling as transportation,
and for society in general, than Lance Armstrong has. His major
contribution seems to be star-dom and the concomitant "reality
distortion field".

Sure, I suppose that it's good that Lance's presence may equal good
things for the bicycle business, but...

I'm in Jeannie's posse.
