I just thought I'd share with you something I found in today's (23 July 04) Salt Lake Tribune. It appeared in the Public Forum page of the Opinion section.
Basically, the writer says that Lance will not be riding on Sunday and mentions that his father will be giving a news conferrence telling "Le Socetie" how to run the Tour according to American standards.
If you have read Lance's autobiography, he has never known his father. So I suspect that the writer of the "opinion", is either trying to stir up something or something???
Here is the link to it, but I will post the article too...

"""Never on Sunday
NEWSFLASH - Lance Armstrong has just announced that, due to his religious convictions, he will not ride in Sunday's final stage of the Tour de France. He will instead forfeit his yellow jersey and his chance of winning the Tour for a record sixth consecutive time.
He was quoted as saying, "Not only do the French have this irreverent habit of drinking champagne, I cannot, on the Sabbath day of rest, put so much exertion on my body, which is of course the Lord's temple." When asked about disappointing his fans, his sponsors and the entire world of cycling, he simply paraphrased Sylvester Stallone: "A religious man's gotta do what a religious man's gotta do."
An unconfirmed report says that Armstrong's father is planning a news conference on Monday to instruct Tour organizers exactly how to run the Tour according to American standards.
