If he ended up in a threesome with both twins, you could say he nailed two birds with one stone.

I’ll get my coat.

[QUOTE=Chasing Dreams]  
Hey, the guy has shitloads of energy. If he isn’t winning the Tour de France, what else is he going to do? I think he has adopted professional womanizing as a hobby.

For his next challenge, he will go after Martha Stewart so he can get a good pie to eat.  
[/QUOTE]

I don’t know I don’t think 66 year old pie would taste very good. 😛

[QUOTE=Skara\_Brae]  
Didn’t he leave his wife becuase she was blatantly cheating on him with another member of his team? That is what I heard…and can’t really blame him for that…  
[/QUOTE]

I never heard that. All I heard was that his head had gotten a little too big and he dumped the woman who bore him three kids and stuck with him through cancer. I think he started dating Sheryl Crow very soon afterwards.

I do know that he and Sheryl Crow broke up right before she was diagnosed with cancer, and she has said that he was very supportive despite the circumstances.

How old are they? Does AO fall within the non-creepy [dating range](http://xkcd.com/314/) for LA?

I had no idea he was thought of as a “catch”- I always thought he was sort of funny looking, in a general way.  
[/QUOTE]

I’ve always felt the same way about her and her sister, so I guess it’s a wash.

Lance is 36. Ashley is 21. 36/2 + 7 = 25, so it’s classified as creepy.

Also, **NaturalBlondChap** wins.

Why couldn’t Lance date someone more appropriate? Heck, Laurie David is available! 😃

Does anyone else call bogus on this formula-pulled-from-someone’s-tuchus criterion? IMO if party A is over drinking age and party B is below Social Security elegibility, there is no creeping perceived. Then again maybe I just have a very high (or very case-narrow) “ew” threshold.

[QUOTE=teela brown]  
I once watched a kind of documentary about Lance Armstrong. I was a big fan of his, but after the documentary, which followed him about on his daily routine of training and interacting with friends and Sheryl Crow, I didn’t like him as much. He came across as rather a dick, and reminded me of some of the humorless, touchy, combative litigation attorneys I’ve worked for. It doesn’t mean he isn’t a kickass cyclist, but I don’t think I’d choose him as a (boy)friend.  
[/QUOTE]  
Hey, humorless, touchy and combative spells Alpha Male to some gals. It’s obviously enough to compensate for the uniball issue.

I’ve read that “uniball” isn’t really an issue at all, except for quantity od sperm production. Is that untrue?  
All highly successful people have a big ego. Goes with the territory.

In years of following prof cycling, I’ve heard any number of cyclists saying that LA commanded great respect. I can’t think of anyone saying they found him likeable. That isn’t intended as a criticism at all.

So we’ve decided he’s all those?  
I’m not defending the guy, but he did go through a rough spot. And he did kick-ass on his bike. I have no problem with having a consenting adult girlfriend. She’s not the little girl you all remember from some tv show (which I’ve never seen)  
I don’t even know the guy, but I did read his book. Maybe I’ll play him on tv? Maybe I’ll date her sister?  
Think she’d go for a 62 year old fat guy!
