Armstrong planning to divorce
( 2003-09-06 13:41) (China Daily)

Five-time Tour de France champion Lance Armstrong and his wife have separated and are planning to divorce, according to a published report.

Armstrong and wife Kristin separated two weeks ago, soon after they moved back to Austin from their European home in Girona, Spain, according to a story published Thursday in the Austin (Texas) American-Statesman.

The couple is currently in mediation to reach a divorce settlement, while maintaining separate homes in Central Austin, the newspaper reported.

"It's an unfortunate situation,'' Kristin Armstrong, 32, told the newspaper. "We are making the best of it for the sake of our kids.''

The Armstrongs have been married for five years and separated in late January. The 31-year-old cyclist, who grabbed his record-tying fifth straight victory in cycling's most prestigious race this summer, later agreed to enter counseling in an effort to salvage their marriage.

"We both have (legal) representation, and we're doing this peacefully,'' the cyclist said on Wednesday. "The craziest thing is, we're closer now and better friends than ever before. We're truly committed to maintaining a good relationship, but not a marriage.''
