No, he's not a good role model. No, he's not an admirable public figure. No, he doesn't even pretend to be a nice guy--much less a Christian. But, has there ever been a more remarkable athlete--in any sport? That's the sort of question folks will argue ad infinitum for years to come. Lance Armstrong certainly has lent substantial credence to such speculations--claiming the yellow jersey during the fourth stage of what Hemmingway rightly described as "the greatest sporting event in the world." The Tour de France is indeed beginning to look like the Tour de Lance. Will he make it a perfect seven? Maybe, just maybe!
