The French Are Still Not Lance Armstrong Fans

Here's a shocker from the cycling world: Team Astana—which featured the first- and third-place finishers at the Tour de France—is now under a doping investigation! I'm starting to think cycling might have a problem with drugs. [AFP/AP]

Choose Your Side In The Great Cycling Rivalry

Tour de France winner Alberto Contador is celebrating his big victory by throwing "teammate" Lance Armstrong under the bus, instead of pushing him under an actual moving bus, which would have made the race infinitely more exciting. More »

Lance Armstrong Has Failed Everyone

Alberto Contador has won his second Tour de France. Livestrong, Alberto! One person who's thrilled about this news? This precocious, Tour-loving five-year-old. [SI]

Sumo Cycling: The Next Great Olympic Sport

Lance Not Livestrong Enough

Lance Armstrong moved to second place in the Tour de France this weekend, but fell almost two minutes behind his teammate, Alberto Contador. Oh, the indignity of the wingman, fighting for scraps as his "partner" reaps all the glory. More »

Le Cycling Is A Contact Sport

One woman dies when she's hit by a police motorcycle, and two riders are injured by, um, air rifle projectiles. In other news, LiveStrong tweets about the injustice of George Hincapie not winning the yellow jersey. It's a cruel world.

BB Assassins Take Pot Shots At Tour de France Riders

Two riders were hit by BBs during Stage 13 of the Tour, even though lunatic cycling fans can get close enough to club their victims with baguettes. Why not give your crazy violence a more personal touch? [VeloNews]

Tour de France Riders Forced To Perform Without Mechanical Supplements

The Tour de France tried an "experiment" today—banning radios that allow coaches and team leaders to communicate with their riders during the race. It's almost like they expect these athletes to use their own brains! More »

Teammate Is Totally Undermining Lance Armstrong

Alberto Contador unexpectedly moved into second, and the Tour de France suddenly went all Brandy vs. Monica. Lance: "Things didn't really go according to the plan we mapped out before. I was a little surprised, but it doesn't matter." [AFP]

The Critic-Proofing Of Lance Armstrong

The ad you see here is the new Lance Armstrong spot for Nike, which would be merely standard-issue, inspiromatic marketing schlock if it didn't come so creepily close to suggesting that to criticize Lance now is to somehow enable cancer. More »

Lance Armstrong Can't Not Be The Top Dog

Lance Armstrong said he just wanted to get some exercise and maybe promote his wristbands, because after four years off, expecting him to win the Tour de France would just be silly. What's that? He's in first place now? Lovely. More »

The Tour De France is, How You Say, "Underway"

Lance Armstrong began his quest for eight with a solid start in the first-stage time trial. And that's the only mention of France we'll have on this July 4th, I can promise you that! East Coast Bias has you covered. More »

A Nutty Theory About Lance Armstrong

A couple of scientists argue that Lance Armstrong did indeed employ certain exotic performance-enhancing procedures before his run of seven consecutive Tour De France victories: namely, getting his diseased testicle lopped off. More »

R.I.P. Tour De France

If you're like us, you never really cared about the Tour de France anyway, but with all that has gone done with that race this year, we suspect that no one else from now on is gonna care either. Everybody's doping, the leader has been sent home by his own team, the guy who's in the lead now was just tied to drugs last year, tiny bombs are going off on the course ... it's probably just time to cancel this thing, send everybody home and rethink the whole sport. The French thought they were mad at Lance Armstrong? Look at the mess they have now. Take your leg razor and go home, boys.
