In YOUR case, since there ain't much chance of you winning any bicycle race and since it is unlikely you have devoted your entire life to becomming one of the world's best of anything and attempting to profit financially from that endeavor in the brief number of years in which you have to do it, YOUR only likely option is raising your children.
Within 5 years after Armstrong retires, you probably will never hear his name again, such as the fate of LeMond.
You won't see him endorsing Nike, Subaru, Titelist or any other product for that matter. You won't see his football, baseball, or basketball play-by-play analysis and unless some other American cycling extraordinaire comes along, you probably won't even hear the TdF mentioned during prime time sports news unless as a 5 second side note........
Today, in this country, Lance Armstrong IS the Obscure Tour de France! Without a spectacular successor, the TdF becomes irrelevant in American sports once again......
It's sad to see a family broken up over a bicycle race. Seems frivolous to me, as do all the public displays of affection from him and the skanky rock star who happens to be ten years his senior, and who seems to make the rounds. I'm guessing the twins don't like seeing that on tee vee, but maybe I am wrong.
