Lance legend punctured

Lance Armstrong threw in the towel today. And it's about time.

It has always been our point here at Falling Downs, in contemplating the Lance implosion, that we're pissed with Lance because of his phony-ass attitude about cheating.

But let's not get too far ahead of ourselves. We've always said here that everybody in the upper echelon of cycling was dirty for the last twenty years. Even if you're not taking drugs and just keeping a couple of spare pints of your own blood in the bar fridge at the hotel, come on, that's not "sports" and everybody knows that.

At the same time, let it be said that Lance wasn't "cheating" any more than all the guys around him

That's why I think it's wrong to take those seven Tour victories away from him.
