Don't forget....according to the ESPYs.....NASCAR drivers are athletes. I'm not putting them down, being rocketed around a track at up to 200 mph in a car with very little suspension travel for 3 hours in a jumpsuit with no AC is not something that most people could do, but I wouldn't say this person is an athlete, it's more that they possess said skills than anything else. That is like calling bowlers or Billiards players athletes.
Lance Armstrong is the most drug tested athlete in the world. Nobody can believe he is as good as he is without drugs. Well...in all this time he's come up clean everytime. Face it, the guy is an anomally. The did a physical and discovered his heart is 30% larger than the average person. This is acheived by both genetics and training. He keeps winning the toughest cycling race in the world against the worlds best cyclists by huge margins (over 7 minutes, that is like beating the next closest oppenent by a few miles, not even close!!)
I'm willing to bet that Mr. Armstrong could outrun (distance over time, not sprint) most professional athletes (you name em, Jordon, Bonds, heck even Marion Jones 'she's a sprinter')
The guy is truly an athlete!
