Pedal to the Medal: For some reason we need to refer to every athlete, no matter how obscure, as a "hero." Athletes aren't heros. Being exceptionally skilled does not make you a hero. Even being exceptionally skilled and nearly ruining you life out of self-destructive narcissism, then coming back after therapy to be a role model for potential child narcissists does not make you a hero. Lance Armstrong, however, is a hero, for reasons that have been recounted often. (In case you've been living in a cave, Osama, he was afflicated wtih testicular cancer, which spread to his lungs and brain. He not only beat cancer but is on his way to his, like, 900th consectutive Tour De France victory.)

Now, some fatuous, booger-eating, buttwipe named Ron Borges has published an article suggesting that he is not an "athlete." It's remarkable that this clown can pull his finger out of his nose long enough to peck at his keyboard. Tell you what Ron, you pedal tens of thousands of miles through mountains while trying to dodge this guy, then come back and see me. K THX BYE.

One last thing. It takes along time to load, but they're photoshopping this loser to death over at fark.com. **chortle**
