Goes to show even a mentally ill singer can uncover the truth about an athlete doper such as Lance Armstrong - the biggest fraud of all time.

Wow! You're really bitter about these celebrities, aren't you? How do you REALLY know that Lance Armstrong is a fraud? And, by the by, Sheryl has suffered from depression (as have I and countless others)which makes her mentally ill, but from you, it's a vicious insult. Let's all make a note to be a little less judgmental.

It's hard to get too worked up about this because frankly, Lance can do better. (And if you think Lance doped, then it truly shows you know nothing about cycling... or maybe you're just bitter because you've never accomplished anything yourself.)

Its well known that lance was using enhancements that were right on the fringe of illegal. Furthermore he left his 1st wife who stuck by him thru his sickness. He is a pompous fraud. It just took a while for Sheryl to figure it out. Good for her. She seems like a very sweet girl.

Lance may have left his first wife however, they did not meet until AFTER his battle with cancer.

Lance didn't meet his first wife until AFTER he had battled cancer. Only the two of them know for sure, but I think she left him because she wanted her children's dad to actually be around the children. They tried multiple times and ways to keep things together.
I seriously doubt Lance was doping. I live in Austin and have close friends in cycling. Lance was tested more often than most people eat.
I have no idea what happened with Lance and Sheryl and don't really care. I wish them both the best.

Could it be that it was just because he was on his way down and she was on her way up? As for the doping charges - the only dope he ever did was Sheryl.

lol. I was disgusted when Lance dumped his wife for a pop star when he hit the big time. Now he is of no interest.

I heard from a co-worker who lives in Austin that the word around town was his wife cheated on him first, then he followed. In any case, how many celebs aren't A-Holes? He's out in public a lot, was an awesome competitor, has inspired many, and has done many good things for the victims of cancer.
I'd like to know the truth in regard to the blood doping accusations, but I'l believe he's innocent until he admits it, that's only fair.
