He will earn more if he cut his hair and do some workout ;) Very original, well done.

Goddess, I think.

I spent the day with a BBC Director and former cyclist who identifies the top guy -- the cyclist -- as none other than LANCE ARMSTRONG. Go Figure. Did anyone notice, Americans? French members?

I recognized him right off - being from Austin, I'd be ashamed otherwise!

The famous and powerful vs. ........

I didn't realize the sports figure was 'Lance Armstrong' until it was noted above.

 

The resemblance is uncanny, isn't it?

I see Nike gloves, faint Nike symbol on his jersey, and a trek bike frame. Everyone should know the face of this seven time Tour de France champion!  Good eye and photo, the beggar does resemble Lance somewhat.

I was not sure who that was when I first took the photo, or posted it.

Of course, it's Lance Armstrong, now about to be embroiled in a 'doping claim' by his old teammate, who has his own doping scandal, and it 'makes sense' since the whole sport was riddled by doping and yet Armstrong always pulled away from the pack.

Now he's going around with his own foundation and being 'holier than thou' and claiming now his blood can be tested each time, but he's not winning.  Surprise!

Anyway, he's got his medals, championships and his money, so if there was anything to 'catch' everybody else, it seems had the same thing to catch.

Again 'IF' as I know nothing, and can only guess and don't have a dog in this fight.

Yes, this man looks very much like Armstrong, which is the basic reason I took the photo . . . .

Glad you've been poking around my vast number of photos.

I just spent 7 hours photoshopping just one day's captures from Jan. 2008.  I'm a little behind and some were 'fabulous' -- only two of which ever were 'seen' by me but some were really good and unnoticed by me as I rushed to the next download.

I've got enough for a whole couple of other memberships with huge volume backed up, if I ever lost my cameras or didn't ever take another photo.
