Cycling-I’m portrayed as cycling’s Voldemort, says Armstrong (Reuters)
Lance Armstrong will still ride parts of this year’s Tour de France route for charity despite feeling as popular as Voldemort, the unspeakable villain of the Harry Potter movies. The American, stripped by cycling governing body UCI of his seven Tour victories in 2012 because of systematic doping, is supporting former England international soccer player and fellow cancer survivor Geoff Thomas in a fund-raising ride. Now it’s swung so far the other way… who’s that character in Harry Potter they can’t talk about?
