Cyclist Lance Armstrong Scandal: Wrecks Into Two Cars and Lets Girlfriend Take Blame

At one time, Lance Armstrong was the most revered and respected cyclist in the world. He was a champion of his sport, and many in this world looked up to him. In recent news, it has been revealed that Armstrong was involved in a car wreck in Aspen where he nailed two cars with his SUV. The worst part of it may be, that he let his girlfriend take the blame. This happened a very short time after Armstrong admitted he would dope all over again if given the chance. What a hero!

Lance got his start in cycling at an early age. At 16, he was already competing as a triathlete. In 1989, he was a national triathlon champion. He had a lot of success between 1993 and 1996 with the Motorola team.

Some of his accomplishments include the World Championship of 1993, the Clasica de San Sebastian in 1995, the Tour DuPont multiple times and, most famously, winning the Tour de France seven times.

However, this all came to an end after the onetime great was revealed to be a steroid-using cheater.

In recent news, the disgraced Armstrong pummeled two parked cars with his SUV, and according to TMZ Sports, he showed a lot of cowardice when he allowed his girlfriend to take the fall:

"Lance Armstrong has disgraced himself all over again...so say police who claim the cyclist hit two parked cars after partying in Aspen...and then let his GF take the blame. According to the Aspen PD, Armstrong's SUV was identified in the December 29th incidents -- and upon questioning, Lance's GF Anna Hansen initially told cops she was the driver that night. Anna told cops she lost control of the SUV and struck two parked cars...But the investigator didn't buy Anna's story...Lance WAS THE DRIVER."

If that isn't disgraceful enough, then lets look back to just one month ago, when, according to CBS Sports, Armstrong admitted he would dope all over again:

"Disgraced cyclist Lance Armstrong said if he had a chance to do things over, he'd probably engage in doping again if he was racing in a culture when cheating 'was completely pervasive'...In an interview, Armstrong said: 'It's a complicated question, If you take me back to 1995, when it was completely and totally pervasive, I'd probably do it again. People don't like to hear that...'"
