Bode Miller spouts off about Lance Armstrong

US Olympic skiing hopeful Bode Miller is sounding just like another guy down at the end of the bar after a long night.
In a Rolling Stone interview, Miller suggested cyclist Lance Armstrong and home run hitter Barry Bonds took performance-enhancing drugs.

“Right now, if you want to cheat, you can: Barry Bonds and those guys are just knowingly cheating, but …

Lance Armstrong movie director has a full plate

Producer-director Frank Marshall tells IF magazine that he's planning to direct “The Lance Armstrong Story.” It has to find its place among a slew of other sequels and documentaries he's working on, though, so I wouldn't expect it anytime soon.

Marshall, who hit the big time by producing “Raiders of the Lost Ark” in 1981, has finished up a documentary for IMAX, …

Are LiveStrong wristbands yesterday's trend?

Do you still wear your yellow LiveStrong bracelet? I don't.

It's nothing against cyclist Lance Armstrong, or the Foundation's goal to raise funds for cancer survivorship and research. I still support those causes.

I wore the wristband for about a year and a half, beginning the day it was given to me by a bicycle enthusiast who was undergoing chemo. I stopped wearing  it after I …

Armstrong favors Ullrich in Tour de France

Here's a recent picture of Jan Ullrich, who seven-time Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong says is the cyclist to beat this year.

“I saw the pictures of him at his (T-mobile) team presentation a couple of days ago and he looks in great shape.”

I'm not saying that Armstrong doesn't know what he's talking about, but he must be seeing different pictures than I am. …

Break-up or hitch-up for Lance and Sheryl?

Lance Armstrong and Sheryl Crow are definitely splitsville. I've got it on good authority from Madame Rosa, the pet psychic, who was trying to contact our cat that died a couple of years ago.

Instead of contacting Manny, however, she learned that Sheryl was secretly dating — you guessed it — Elvis. Lance found out, and now he's pulled out of the race.

The gossip columns actually are reporting (and that's using the word loosely) …

The guy was Lance Armstrong, who got into the Rose Bowl on a media pass to watch his hometown University of Texas …
