Yes, it's totally his right to do as he wishes. But, really...what on earth does Lance Armstrong have left to prove by coming out of retirement for an attempt at an eighth Tour de France win?
The cynic in me just won't buy the "raising cancer awareness" rationale.
Indeed, there are no happy virtuosos. Ali, Holmes, Favre, and lots of other athletes who stayed too long...and now Armstrong...they can leave their chosen field after dominating it completely, but they can't seem to leave the passion for dominance behind, ever. How will the feel when they literally cannot no longer dominate the one basket in which their eggs rested for so long?
Me? I'd be working on finding or making new baskets!
