Lance Armstrong received surgery to more quickly fix his collarbone, which was broken into 4 pieces during a bicycle race in Spain. I wonder if he knows that the metal from the screws can set off the metal detectors in airports sometimes. (I have a titanium rod in my left tibia and the left over screw shavings set off the alarms 50% of the time, especially in higher security airports. True, as confirmed by the hand wands during the manual pat down.)
He’ll be back on a training bike in a few days, with his chances for the Tour in July still up in the air. Feel better, Lance. Have them install some synthetic muscles in there while you’re recovering. [SFgate, Deadspin, Twitter, Twitpic]
