Armstrong announced at The Paceline website that he will not be racing in the Leadville Trail 100 Mountain Bike Race on Aug. 11, 2007, as previously indicated due to a "scheduling conflict." I'm marking that date on my calendar just to see ... more » Sunday, December 24

While their son talks to reporters from newspapers and magazines in Europe and the US, Floyd Landis's parents talked to the local Rotary Club this week.

One of the hottest match-ups for the coming year -- Lance Armstrong vs. Floyd Landis at the Leadville 100 -- has apparently fizzled out.
This is like one of those fantasy matches: "What if Satchel Paige pitched against Ichiro," or "What if Johnny Unitas' Baltimore Colts took on Peyton Manning's Indianapolis Colts?"
