She did indeed. My brother is an amateur cyclist and US Postal fan, so I periodically check the website. His wife's comments in her former column on lancearmstrong.com have been removed since before the Tour de France. She claimed that she shouldn't have posted such personal things on the internet. She hadn't written the column since last December anyways.

Essentially, she decided to give up her career for Lance's when they got married, and apparently she has changed her mind recently. She was not pleased about her and the kids living half the year in Europe and half the year in the US (so they could be with Lance while training in Europe).

This is surprising especially considering what they went through to have kids. They got together shortly after Lance went into remission, while he was still recovering from chemo...back when he wasn't a TdF winner, back when he was thinking of retiring from cycling all together.

He's a very wealthy man now...he's gonna get socked with alimony and child support. She is apparently from money herself, but I'm betting she gets more now...

Why do women have so much difficulty with the idea trhat men have careers they really care deeply about? It's not as though he abandoned the family to race, either: he made an effort to keep the family with him on the road - and this is his reward.
