Armstrong nixes appearance at Leadville MTB race
By VeloNews.com
This report filed December 28, 2006
Lance Armstrong announced Thursday that he will not be racing the
Leadville Trail 100 mountain-bike race in Colorado.
"Lance had a scheduling conflict come up and he regrettably cannot
participate in the event," said k Higgins, the seven-time Tour de
France champion's manager.
Armstrong's successor as Tour champion, Floyd Landis, also has
expressed interest in racing the Leadville 100. But the event carries a
NORBA sanction, which means Landis would not be able to compete should
he be suspended for a positive testosterone test at the 2006 Tour,
unless organizers decide to proceed without the sanction.
The course starts at over 10,000 feet of elevation and peaks at 12,600
feet. Armstrong's longtime coach, Chris Carmichael, raced the 2006
edition and finished in 9 hours, 18 minutes.

Face it, he didn't want to get spanked by Landis.
