| Armstrong |
I don't care about his motivation, his triumphs nor his failures. To me, he is no role model.
To cancer patients, he may be a god.
So, why am I devoting time and space to this guy? There's only one reason. That's because he has become a phenom. He's has done a lot of stuff. Good stuff and bad stuff. Did you know that he once considered running for Governor of Texas? If taking drugs could help him in politics, he may have run!
Since he has a history of lying, it's difficult to believe anything that comes out of his mouth. I find it interesting that he owns a couple of businesses in Austin, Texas. He apparently has a sense of humor. He has a coffee shop called "Juan Pelota Cafe". The name is a reference to his testicular cancer, with the name "Juan" being a homophone for "one" and "Pelota" being the Spanish word for "ball". In the same building, Armstrong owns and operates a bike shop named "Mellow Johnny’s", after another nickname of his derived from the Tour term "maillot jaune", which is French for "yellow jersey". The Tour de France winner is given a Yellow Jersey.
