Lance Armstrong in the Phoenix Park

Post by T.C.B. »

Went down to the Park yesterday evening to see him. He had initially planned to do just 12km but ended up doing 36km. He seemed to be really enjoying himself anyway and was chatting away with the other cyclists (1,200 turned up if the papers are to believed). As I wasn't cycling myself, I brought along my camera and got a few snaps:

He didn't come across that way I have to say. He was chatting and laughing with the other cyclists as they pedalled away and stayed on to chat and sign autographs at the end.

Armstrong is a cheat, it really sickens me how he's been able to become the cancer beating superhero when there should be an asterix beside his name any time its mentioned.
