I thought that the end of Armstrong's career as a competitive cyclist probably deserved more media attention.
But it looks like an end with more meaning may be approaching:

Federal authorities investigating possible fraud and doping charges against Lance Armstrong and his associates have issued grand jury subpoenas to witnesses, according to several people briefed on the case.

At least two people previously involved with the United States Postal Service Team told investigators of their past doping practices.

There's always been too much smoke around Armstrong to discount the presence of fire.
It would probably be appropriate for Armstrong to end up a tragic figure. The tragedy brought on by himself. A prickly star that due to his personality and personal life has turned off many fans. Armstrong is admired, but he is not loved.
Hopefully a new American star will emerge....some have suggested Taylor Phinney. We shall see.
