Lance Armstrong gets 'head checked' at hospital after cycling tumble

Disgraced former cyclist Lance Armstrong had an unfortunate visit to the hospital after taking a tumble while on his bike.

On the weekend, Armstrong shared a bloody photo to Instagram, showing his shocking injuries.

"Well, sometimes you’re the hammer and sometimes you’re the nail! The Tom Blake trail (one of my faves) came up and tried to KO my a-- today [sic]," he said.

"Took quite the blow to the noggin’ so swung by the Aspen Valley Hospital (great facility!) to get my head checked."

Armstrong said he was lucky enough to have an emergency room doctor riding the Colorado track at the same time.

"For the 46 yrs prior to today I completely would have blown off getting checked. Not now," Armstrong said.

"Credit photo to “some dude at top of buttermilk”. Well, that ‘dude’ turned out to be @ajaxrider - the ER doc on duty today! Charlie, thanks for looking after me."
