Lance Armstrong Has Lost His Edge





Source - Disgraced cyclist Lance Armstrong hit two parked cars with an SUV after a night of partying in Aspen, Colorado, but agreed to let his longtime girlfriend take the blame to avoid national attention, police reports show.

Police cited Armstrong with failing to report an accident and speeding weeks after the Dec. 28 accident, but only after his girlfriend, Anna Hansen, acknowledged lying for him.

Armstrong declined immediate comment on Tuesday. His attorney, Pamela Mackey, didn't immediately return a call.

Hansen initially told police she had been driving home from an Aspen Art Museum party when she lost control of Armstrong's GMC Yukon on icy roads, hitting the cars. She said she drove because ''Lance had a little bit to drink,'' according to the reports.

A man who had been renting one of the damaged cars told a police detective that Hansen came running up to his house in high heels, apologizing and promising to pay for the repairs.

''She said, 'I'm Anna, we're the Armstrongs, my husband's Lance, he was just driving maybe too fast around the corner or something,''' the man, Thomas Van Allen, told police, according to the reports.





I gotta say, not a good look for Lance Armstrong here.  I have absolutely no problem with him letting his girlfriend take the blame for it, that was a great idea.  A drunken hit and run is a bad look, especially for a guy like Lance Armstrong who is probably doing anything and everything to try and stay squeaky clean after the whole doping scandal.  But you can't get caught lying about that man, I mean come on how does that even happen?  You successfully lied for a decade under feverish scrutiny, but you couldn't slip the ol' switcheroo past a couple of snooty rich folks in Aspen?  Unacceptable.
