Armstrong threatens to come back |
Based on the translation I read of the press release, I'm pleased that the UCI seems to be asking many of the right questions. |
because I have nothing to hide. |
Birthdays don't really matter much anymore ... for me, I sort of have a new birthday and that's October 2nd, the day I was diagnosed, ... the day we all sort of look to and mark these milestones by one year, two year, five year, 10 year. Hopefully, I have a 50 year. |
but I don't know if I want to spend $1.5 million and two years of my life pursuing this. I have better things to do. |
