Lance's retirement.

I haven't heard that Lance is retiring, and would like to know why you think
he is. Please post links to articles and/or explain your reasoning. I
couldn't disagree with you more.

Because they raised the one-day licence fee to $10.

Attention everybody:

We need to raise $10.00 so Lance Armstrong can afford a race day license.
We can make a difference. Let's not force the greatest American cyclist
into retirement because of our greed.

How 'bout water sports,

Well, if that's what you're into, but be sure to take a shower
afterwards.

Do a search on Callistus and you will see that he thinks of himself as a
high level troll. He follows the sport but seems to take great pride in
starting silly threads.

Yeah. I'm quite certain Discovery Networks forked out all the bucks to pick
up sponsorship without locking Lance into a contract.

Yeah. I'm quite certain Discovery Networks forked out all the bucks to

up sponsorship without locking Lance into a contract.

Courts, as a general rule, don't enforce personal service contracts. They
would award damages for a breach. I suspect there is a provision in the
contract to reflect a pay scale linked to retirement timing.

He didn't race in SF because of hurt knee.

I can't believe that Discovery would risk millions of dollars without
protection and with all of the talk about Lance thinking of retirement
before the discussions with Discovery, I would be shocked if there weren't
remedies already built into the contract.

You guys are TOO EASY to troll.

Actually guys, when Discovery Channel picked up USPS' spot on the jersey
Lance had not yet signed a deal. Maybe there was an agreement to agree, but
he wasn't obligated contractually as far as I know.
