Trouble for Lance Armstrong

Sports Illustrated will hit the stands Wednesday with an investigative piece on Lance Armstrong and it doesn't look good for the 7-time Tour de France winner.

Armstrong has steadfastly denied any doping, but blood samples and witness testimony have contradicted his claims. He's the subject of a grand jury investigation looking into whether the $31 million he took from the Post Office was fraud. If they find he was doping, he's in big, big trouble.

My feeling on Armstrong is this: He was a middle of the packer. Then he got a disease that is caused by PED use. Then he was the best in the world. Too much smoke. He's also basically argued his it's not in his character to cheat. I'm guessing his first wife and Sheryl Crow might disagree with that.
