The Daily Habit: Sports
I Stole Lance Armstrong’s Bike but Gave that Junk Back- Looks like nobody likes that asshole Lance Armstrong. Mr. “I didn’t take steroids to win the Tour de France but Shreyl Crow broke up with me anyway” was boo hooing all week because somebody stole his prized bicyce, but now he’s all better. Police said they have recovered a one-of-a-kind bicycle swiped from Amstrong only days after the champion cyclist sent out a rallying cry to the internet jock sniffers on Twitter.
A person brought the purloined Trek training bicycle to a police station in the city of Sacramento, where it was stolen during the weekend. Armstrong’s bicycle was one of several stolen from an Astana team truck parked behind a hotel in Sacramento. Armstrong on Sunday sent out a rallying cry to the more than 128,000 Twitter members signed up to receive brief text messages he routinely fires off on the popular micro-blogging service. A Facebook group called “1 Million Jock Sniffing Fans Looking for Lance Armstrong’s Junky Stolen Bike” had grown to 1,282 members by the time word of the Trek’s return hit the Internet on Wednesday. Two other bicycles stolen from Armstrong’s team were still missing (http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20090219/en_afp/cyclingusaarmstrongitinternettwitter;_ylt=AtfqpgLcfQIcvPcLN5VJsT9xFb8C).
Cancer-survivor Armstrong, 37, retired in 2005 but has set out to make a comeback. The California race is his second on a comeback trail that started last month in Australia, where he finished 29th place in the Tour Down Under. Armstrong intends to compete in this year’s Tour de France, but he’s going to embarrass himself and end up testing positive for steroids. Face it Lance. You’re a has-been with a huge ego. That’s exactly why the guy who stole your back gave it back to you. He realized junk owned by you wouldn’t even sell on Ebay.
