Armstrong faced a throng of reporters demanding his response to Floyd Landis' allegations that he doped when the two were on the U.S. Postal team. After answering the questions, Armstrong rode off to the rousing cheers of fans to begin Stage 5 of the Tour of California, soon crash in a major pileup that left him bloody and bruised. He attempted to continue riding, but was forced to abandon the race and go to the hospital for X-rays on his left elbow. The X-rays revealed a serious bruise but no fracture.
Doctors stitched up the cuts under Armstrong's left eye, but the cyclist treated any wounds to his reputation on his own. He's adept after all the challenges to it over the years. Armstrong's fans surrounded the bus area when he spoke to the media and occasionally shouted their love and photograph requests.
