Seven-time Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong has dropped out of the Tour of California after crashing during the race, leaving him with a bruise on his elbow and needing stitches for a cut under his left eye.
The accident occurred as a group of cyclists crashed in an area of narrow road, about 5 miles into stage 5 of the eight-day race, according to Business Week. Fellow American Levi Leipheimer was also involved in the crash.
Both Armstrong and Leipheimer rejoined the race, but Armstrong decided to drop out at the 13-mile mark.
In an email statement, provided by Armstrong’s RadioShack team he wrote “I tried to give it a go but my eye was swollen so I couldn’t see properly and the pain in the elbow prevented me from holding the bars… It was a relief to learn there were no breaks.”
He continued “It was one of those crashes that put a bunch of us down… It will take a few days to recover and be on the bike as soon as possible.”
Business Week reports that Armstrong’s withdrawal from the cycling event came only hours after he denied allegations by former teammate Floyd Landis that he was “one of many American riders who used performance-enhancing drugs in recent years.”

Erica Blasberg, whose passion for golf while growing up in Corona blossomed into a five-plus-year career on the Ladies Professional Golf Association Tour, was found dead Sunday at her home in Henderson, Nev.
Ms. Blasberg was 25.
“At first glance it looks like she might have taken her own life, but at second glance, something is very, very strange about it,” said Erica’s father, Mel Blasberg, by phone from Nevada. “We’re waiting for the police to make an investigation, it’s a pending investigation.
“Either way, I lost her and it’s impossible to deal with.”
Ms. Blasberg was born in Orange but grew up in Corona, honing her game in junior golf tournaments throughout the Inland area. She starred on the boys’ golf team at Corona High School, from which she graduated in 2002.
At the University of Arizona, she was a two-time All-American, 2003 NCAA Freshman of the Year and 2003 Pacific-10 Player of the Year.
Ms. Blasberg turned professional in June 2004. Her first season was spent on the Futures Tour, a minor league for professional women golfers. On that tour, she won the Laconia Savings Bank Futures Golf Classic, shooting a 62 in one round and breaking the tour’s 18-hole scoring record.
The next year, Ms. Blasberg began competing on the LPGA Tour, the top tour for women’s golfers. In her more than five years on the tour, Ms. Blasberg rarely finished among the top contenders.
Her best result was a tie for eighth at the SBS Open at Turtle Bay, Hawaii, which she co-led with top player Annika Sorenstam after three rounds. She made 11 cuts in 23 starts that year and earned $113,428 during the only season that she finished among the LPGA’s top 100 players.

It seems only fitting that some blood ended up getting spilled in the latest Suns-Spurs showdown. This series has been a dogfight for years, and the Suns were finally the bigger dog — the much bigger dog.
The bloodshed came at the hands of a Tim Duncan elbow (his elbows may have their own hands — can’t confirm either way) to the face of Suns point guard Steve Nash with 5:47 to go in the third quarter. The ensuing gash may have conjured thoughts of the alleged Suns-Spurs curse for some, but six stitches later Nash was back on the court looking a little like Sloth from “The Goonies” (see above).
In an incredible show of toughness, Nash returned to the floor for the fourth quarter with the swelling in his right eye consistently increasing. The pirate-esque Nash was just as efficient as a two-eyed Nash, as he contributed 10 points and five assists in the quarter and made the Spurs walk the plank.
“I don’t know how it didn’t keep me on the sidelines,” Nash told reporters after the game. “At first I felt like, ‘Am I being selfish by playing?’ because I couldn’t see a lot.”
Nash had a hand in nine of the Suns’ last 10 baskets in what ended up being a nail-biter in the final minute and finished with 20 points and nine assists. It’s old news that Nash is an aggressive man machine, but the courage and toughness Nash brought to the floor in the fourth quarter is totally unquantifiable. It doesn’t show up in the final box score. But all who saw it will know it contributed to the most important statistic of all: 4-0.
“Steve played well,” Suns coach Alvin Gentry said after the game. “There’s just something about the Spurs and that dog-gone right eye of his. If it’s not his eye it’s his nose–always something on his face.”
After fighting off a hip strain that held him back in Game 6 against the Trail Blazers, Nash turned out to be invaluable against the Spurs, averaging 22 points and 7.8 assists in the sweep. Add on the intangible leadership and experience, and the Spurs had no answer for Captain Canada.
For that matter, almost no one has had an answer for the 36-year-old two-time MVP this season. Nash put together the best statistical season for a point guard over 35 in NBA history. He led the league in assists, started the All-Star game, won the All-Star Skills Challenge, influenced his teammates to eat better, helped foster some of the best chemistry in the NBA and mentored a budding young point guard. What more can you ask for?
“It started in training camp,” Gentry said. “He was just determined. He just said that we’re going to get back where we were and I’m going to see to that. The leadership that he’s brought to our team and what he’s done has been unbelievable.”
With more than a week off from play before the Suns (likely) meet the Lakers in the Western Conference Finals (did ANYONE think they’d be able to read that in October?), Nash’s eye should have plenty of time to heal up.
Nash’s play will be crucial against the Lakers. Though we have seen that the Suns can find a way to win without a major contribution from Nash, this is the top-seeded Lakers we are talking about. But then again, there was plenty of talk about how good the Spurs would be and what a tough series the Suns had ahead. That didn’t prove very founded at all.
For Suns fans, Sunday night’s win couldn’t have been much better. Amare Stoudemire was dominant. Nash put on one of his greatest displays of toughness yet and it all came on the hated Spurs’ home court. The fans must now anxiously await for what the Western Conference Finals have in store and what Nash will do next.

Tiger Woods Neighbors Daughter : Another alleged mistress opens up about her Tiger Woods experience. This time it’s Tiger Woods’ 22-year-old neighbor!
Woods had his way with 22-year-old Raychel Coudriet on a couch in his office, near a crib for one of his kids, the National Enquirer reports. And he didn’t wear a condom.
I felt used and violated, like I meant nothing to him but a night of casual sex,” Coudriet said, a source told the tabloid. “I just wanted to dig a big hole, crawl in and die.”
Woods has known Raychel Coudriet since she was 14.
Coudriet had long had a girlish crush of Woods, who managed to keep his hands off of her until May 29 when he began making “vulgar comments about her ‘cleaning his golf balls,’” the National Enquirer reported.

The NCAA Women’s basketball championship 2010 game went down on Tuesday night, just one night after a thrilling contest between Duke and Butler decided the men’s national championship. In tonight’s NCAA finals game, many were looking to the potential for a bigtime upset. It would be bigger than Butler defeating Duke, since the Lady Huskies arrived to the game carrying the nation’s longest win streak of 77 games. With a record of 39-0 the #1 seed Huskies looked to do battle with their toughest foe of the season, the #1 seed Stanford Cardinal in the Alamodome of San Antonio, Texas. The UCONN vs Stanford game score ended up in favor of the Huskies, en route to their second straight title and 78th straight victory, making for an impressive season.
Final game score was 53-47 UCONN. It wasn’t easy for the Huskies though and they actually trailed in the game at one spot by 9 points. They were held to just 12 points in the first half which ranks among the lowest point outputs in a half during the tournament. Ironically, UCONN is on the other side of 3 other games where their opponents scored 12 or fewer in a half. In tonight’s game coming out of halftime, UCONN went on an impressive run to gain an 11-point lead. Player of the game for UCONN was Maya Moore with 23 points and 11 rebounds. Kayla Pedersen lead the way for Stanford with her 15 points, 17 rebounds and 3 assists. Her 3 pointer in the first half, pushed Stanford’s lead to 18-9, giving them their biggest lead of the game, and of any team in the tournament. Then again, Stanford came closest in points to UCONN during a game this past season, albeit a double digit loss for Stanford.
The Huskies victory in the NCAA Women’s basketball championship 2010 game gives Geno Auriemma his 7th championship at UCONN. Only Pat Summit of Tennessee has more, with eight titles. As for UCONN’s 78 straight wins, only the UCLA men’s bball team of the 70’s is better with an 88 game win streak. Coach Auriemma definitely gave credit to Stanford for a well-executed game plan and admitted they gave them the toughest test of their season.
“This one was by the far the hardest and most difficult,” Auriemma said. “Not because of what we went through, but we played a great team and they had a great game plan. It took everything we had to beat that team.”

INDIANAPOLIS — DePaul agreed with Clemson men’s basketball coach Oliver Purnell late Monday on a seven-year contract that will pay Purnell well beyond the $1.6 million salary he was making with the Tigers.
Purnell will be introduced at a 2:30 p.m. ET news conference Tuesday in Chicago, DePaul spokesperson Greg Greenwell confirmed.
“DePaul presents a great opportunity,” Purnell told ESPN.com Tuesday morning.
The stunning hire — culminated shortly after the Duke-Butler NCAA national championship game — salvaged a search for a new coach that lasted nearly three months.
The Chicago Tribune and FoxSports.com Web sites, both citing sources, first broke the story in the early morning hours Tuesday.
“It’s a super job,” Purnell said. “They are very, very committed to restoring a tradition and make DePaul Chicago’s team.”
Purnell wasn’t on any reported DePaul prospective hire lists throughout the winter. He said Tuesday he was contacted four or five days ago. DePaul had made overtures all over the country and few seemed to know where Blue Demons were headed.
DePaul interviewed Minnesota Timberwolves assistant and former New Mexico State and Sacramento Kings coach Reggie Theus late last week for the job.
Jerry Wainwright, who had two years left on his contract, was fired as coach on Jan. 11, with the Blue Demons at 7-8 overall, 0-3 in the Big East.
DePaul finished the season 8-23 overall and dead-last in the Big East at 1-17 under interim coach Tracy Webster.
DePaul went winless in the Big East in 2008-09 and finished 9-24 overall that season.
Meanwhile, Purnell took Clemson to the 2010 NCAA tournament with a 21-10 record (the Tigers lost to Missouri in the first round 86-78). Clemson was 9-7 in the ACC.
Purnell reached the NCAA tournament with the Tigers in three straight seasons, losing in the first round in each of those appearances. He was 138-90 in seven seasons at Clemson, but 50-62 in the ACC.
Prior to Clemson, Purnell resurrected Dayton in a nine-year run that ended with a 24-6 record and an NCAA appearance. He made two NCAA tournament appearances at Dayton.
He also coached at Old Dominion for three years (one NCAA appearance) and three seasons at Radford. Purnell has never won an NCAA game.
Purnell said the move was much more about the challenge at DePaul and had nothing negative to say about Clemson.
“I hope they feel we left the program in great shape,” Purnell said. “I feel that way.”
DePaul has struggled in the 16-team Big East. “On paper, it looks very tough,” Purnell said. “But once I evaluated this I saw that this was like a lot of the jobs I’ve had before Clemson. They were tough jobs as well,”
DePaul presents a number of challenges. The Blue Demons are less talented than the rest of the Big East. They also have facility issues — including having to play off-campus near O’Hare International Airport at the Allstate Arena — as well as a relatively apathetic fan base in Chicago, which tends to be a town that follows its professional teams.
Clemson, meanwhile, is consistently one of the best and rowdiest home courts in the ACC.
Clemson loses seniors all-ACC forward Trevor Booker and wing David Potter but was expected to returned the rest of its team that reached the NCAA. Most experts figured the Tigers to challenge for an upper-division spot in the ACC.
Purnell’s departure means there are now two coaching openings in the ACC. Boston College is looking to replace Al Skinner, who parted ways with the program last week.
