whats this about divorcing his wife? i'm confused, i mean i know about his biking, but not much about his personal life.
Champions aren't made in gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them-a desire, a dream, a vision. They have to have last-minute stamina, they have to be a little faster, they have to have the skill and the will. But the will must be stronger than the skill. - Muhammad Ali

Talent in cheaper than table salt. What separates the talented individual from the successful one is a lot of hard work.

honestly, maybe you shouldnt worry too much about his personal life, cause thats what it is, personal, not for the public. how do you know his wife wasnt the one who initiated the divorce? how do you know she didnt do something wrong? its not only the male who starts the divorce process....

so, is it the wife thing or the fact he swears because im sure you have never ever used foul language.
he probably went through the divorce because he was so busy doing things for foster kids and such. hardly any athletes are as active in charities as lance.

anyway, it seems that you are just repeating something you heard someone else say in regards to the divorce. if you judge people for getting divorced, then you probably have no respect half people who get married. as far as we know he had a very successful marriage. his life just probably got in the way. im sure it would be tough for any woman to be married to a professional cyclist, let alone one of the top athletes in the world in any sport.

as for a lance update he is currently tearing up the 16th stage. winning this time trial would put him in even better position in the tour

Perhaps she didn't like the color yellow and that led to their divorce.

Lance Armstrong is an amazing athlete and i agree that his personal life should remain his personal life even though he is in the public eye so much. no one can trust the media.
