No Honor For Cheaters—And Thieves

 Not many people feel sympathy for Lance Armstrong these days. I admit that I am not part of that minority—at least, most of the time.

The news I heard today, however, sparks a twinge of empathy for him.  We now have at least one thing in common, aside from riding bicycles:  we have had our mounts stolen.

Turns out, one Ethan Harris has pleaded* guilty to theft of property between $30,000 and $150,000 and burglary of a building—for stealing some of the disgraced racer’s bikes from a storage unit in Austin.

Apparently, there is still a market among collectors for anything related to the rider w hose seven Tour de France victories were vacated
