Retirement plans

After seven consecutive Tour de France victories, what's next for Lance Armstrong?

It remains to be seen who will become the Tour's next dominant force - or what Armstrong will do now.

Spending time with his children and working for the Lance Armstrong Foundation are the two key aspects, but some, including best friend and team-mate George Hincapie, have hinted at a possible future in the White House.

President Armstrong? John Kerry seems to think so.

"I think he'd be awesome, he'd be a force. I just hope it's for the right party," said Kerry, an avid cyclist and longtime fan of the Tour de France.

Armstrong...has not ruled out a career in politics after he quits.

I don't understand how a connection can be made between a career in sports and a career in government. But this is America after all.
