Good grief - this is so bad and shameful - I'm a local bike racer and held this man in the highest regard as the best in the world, but as it has turned out he is the worst.I was suckered and I'm angry that he took my trust and threw it my face!

If you’re a disgraced former cycling champion known for lying about doing something wrong, why on earth would you think this was a good idea in the first place?
Disgraced cyclist Lance Armstrong hit two parked cars after a night of partying in Aspen but agreed to let his longtime girlfriend take the blame to avoid national attention, police reports show.
Aspen police cited Armstrong with failing to report an accident and speeding weeks after the Dec. 28 accident, but only after his girlfriend, Anna Hansen, admitted to lying for him.
Armstrong declined immediate comment, and his attorney, Pamela Mackey, didn't immediately return a call.
Hansen initially told police she had been driving home from an Aspen Art Museum party when she lost control of Armstrong's GMC Yukon on the icy roads, hitting the cars. She said she drove because "Lance had a little bit to drink," according to the reports.
A man who had been renting one of the damaged cars told a police detective that Hansen came running up to his house in high heels, apologizing and promising to pay for the repairs.
"She said, 'I'm Anna, we're the Armstrongs, my husband's Lance, he was just driving maybe too fast around the corner or something,'" the man told police, according to the reports.
He called 911 to report a hit-and-run. Hansen and Armstrong left the scene before police arrived.
Detectives later interviewed Hansen, who eventually told them Armstrong was driving, but they had both decided to let her take the blame.
For once again failing to see that honesty is the best policy, Lance Armstrong is our “Loser of the Day.”
