intestinal virus hits shack

haven't we heard this before...?

Lance Armstrong (RadioShack) did not start the stage after being struck by an intestinal virus that hit the US team after the Tour of Flanders.

not surprising i guess after armstrong's shocking return to "form" only a week after flailing away at the Criterium International. Reminded me a lot of his horrible ride in the 2005 Paris-Nice that was followed by a surprisingly good ride at Flandres (after a visit with Dr. Hemo-Ferrari in Tenerife).:eek:

Didn't Lance have a stronger immune system back in the day? Seems he's sick all the time now! just bad luck?

Well, Lance is old. The elderly are more prone to illness. Ever visit a Retirement home? ;)
