Armstrong transcends cycling now

Read and follow his Beckhamlike status. He is good for the sport. He has never tested positive for enhancements and he will submit his testing.

He's committing to cancer awareness, which I'm certain also involves self-promotion, but at least he's bringing somebody else along for the ride. How many others bring a politically neutral cause along for the ride? He's no angel, but that's why he real, human.

We at first wanted a saint who came close to God or something but in reality just found a narcissistic man. What else should we find in a narcissistic sport. One where the current TdF winner calls former winner and manager divisive, one where the current star embraces now fears Lance. One where the great Merckx cannabalized everyone and was beaten down by a French fan.

Cycling needs Armstrong for as long as he can give.
