If you are implying that the Star is "gossip" point taken. However I think that to assume Lance Armstrong is impotent on a message board is no better than what the Star does. Do you have any sources to back your claim?

I did not assume, I only posted it as a probable scenario. Never was my intention to defame Lance Armstrong.

Do you have any sources to back your claim?

Again I made no assumptions or claims. I just pointed out a probability. Other than the link I posted, (Here is another in case you didn't believe that one: Bike Ride)which states that extended bicycle riding is linked to erectile dysfunction, I have two other things I have based this probability on.

First, (as I posted in my original post) Lance had testicular cancer. I can find nowhere what type of procedure/s was used to treat him. There are several methods and some of them are quite radical and can leave one impotent.

The second is based not on my personal experience, but that of my cousins. He is an avid bicyclist. Though he does not participate in any races, he rides almost every day. He totals more than 130 miles a week. He loves it and it is his obsession. He suffered ED and the doctors attributed it to his excessive bicycling. Against all their advice he would do nothing that would interfere with his riding. He would not even do something so simple as put a wider saddle with more padding on his bike. He chose his bike over his sex life. Needless to say he is now divorced. (But he and his wife are the best of friends.)

If you are implying that the Star is "gossip" point taken.

I am sorry for being so condescending in my reply to you. I should not have done that. When I first read your post I thought I might be wrong and researched trying to find any girlfriend or woman he may have dated. I spent nearly an hour on this because there are so many interviews with Lance before he was married, in which he refers to his wife as his girlfriend. I was very disappointed to find only the article from the Star that confirmed this. Still that is no excuse for my post.

Again, I apologize for the tone of my post. I was wrong. Please forgive me.
