Lance Armstrong, that is. Sixth win of the Tour de France, a record for the race. Six in a row, after nearly dying of cancer. For all my snide comments about aliens and green blood, the feat boggles my mind.

I think I'll go off and drink a toast.

"Doping" questions continue, of course. And in one respect, yes, his wins are directly the result of drugs. He says so, in person, on those ads for Bristol Meyers Squib. Drugs kept him alive. But on the other angle, the "performance enhancing" stuff, he has lived under a microscope for six years now and the lab tests haven't shown anything.

Unless you count Ms. Crow as a drug....

43 miles, 3:10. Mr. Armstrong could have done the distance in about 1/3 the time.
