Kirk Bohls provides this Austin American-Statesman (free online registration required) article profiling the two men who are providing bodyguard services for Lance Armstrong during his current Tour de France expedition. The entire column is interesting, spiced by the following two comments:
Asked if it’s a grueling assignment since Lance is somewhat of a rock star, [one of the bodyguards] corrected, “Lance is a rock star.”
[A]lthough he does get paid for this work. And how much does he make, trying to keep half of France off Lance’s back?
“Not enough,” he said with a wide grin. “Not enough.”
I mentioned this article to one of my teenage daughters, and she responded regarding Armstrong:
“Oh, you mean the guy who is Sheryl Crow‘s boyfriend?”
