"Cyclist star Lance Armstrong has a gorgeous home in Texas, and is
apparently one of the biggest users of water in the whole state.
So from a champion cyclist to a champion water waster, which is a
surprise since Lance is quite well known for being really socially
conscious. But chances are, he might not know about how much water his
home consumes.
In July, 2008, Mr. Armstrong, who won the Tour de France seven times,
used a whopping 330,000 gallons of water at his lush Spanish-colonial
home, with an acre of gardens and a swimming pool, city water
authority officials said.
This tremendous flow of H2O, which is 38 times what the average
household in the city uses in the summer, comes as Texas is going
through a dry spell and officials are asking people to cut back on
watering their lawns. "We are definitely short on rain," Lisa Rhodes,
a spokeswoman for the authority, said with a sigh.
Mr. Armstrong declined to be interviewed. "
Armstrong not talking! INTERPOL involved! Subpoenas will be issued!

He will talk when they get him under the lights.
--May I have a glass of water?
--Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.

Perrier, tap or sewer, Lance?
“I’m a little shocked,” he told The Statesman. “There’s no
justification for that much water.” He added, “I need to fix this.”
The article is almost a year old. Did he "fix this"?
Doubtful he fixed the illegal aliens that are doing all the watering
either
He probably needs to consult with Mel Gibson on how to handle that one.
Where's he supposed to get blue cooler boxes from if the aliens go ?

Sure, like he kept his promise to Heras to help him win the Vueta when
he joined US Postal to help him level the competition in the climbs in
2002 and 2003.
Wttf!
What I meant to say was...
Poor, poor Roberto almost died choking on the money he got from
USP after riding as a pauper for Kelme.

But whatever, as he nears the end, maybe a lot of reflective people
have stopped
buying into Lance's concocted-by-an-agent-for-a-heartening-money-
making-miraculous "cancer cure"story.
"CANCER"+STEROIDS = $
Look you sports dupes. It doesn't take the brains of an ashtray to
deduce that if Armstrong's stage 4 bodywide cancer recovery was free
of fiction, his every physiological and cellular aspect would have
been studied and scrutinized by researchers to the Nth-degree to
determine if his recovery path could be replicated in/by other
seriously ill patients.
Of course, THAT route would have required long-term, in-depth BLOOD
exams and analyses, wouldn't it?
