Lance Gets Back on the Bike - Literally - To Go For His 8th Tour de France Win!

Lance is back!
Armstrong has confirmed that he will be coming out of retirement to go for his 8th win (which would be another record) in the 2009 Tour de France.
In a statement to the Associated Press, Lance said:
- "I am happy to announce that after talking with my children, my family and my closest friends, I have decided to return to professional cycling in order to raise awareness of the global cancer burden."
It's uncertain exactly which team he'll race with, although it's rumored he'll join friend Johan Bruyneel's Astana team.
And although we can't wait to see him race in France, we might be more excited about the prospect of watching him train here at home with famous friends like Matt and Jake!
What's more impressive? 8 gold medals or 8 Tour de France wins?

hope he looses!
Leaving somebody who loves you while they are dealing with cancer is the epitome of cowardice. You are obviously an ego maniac to feel the need to win this race again. I hope you lose. You are not a nice human being. Karma is a bitch
OH MY DEAR GOD NO NO NO! Please say it isn't true...this idiot won 7 tours DOPED to the teeth, blaming it on "cancer medicine" yeah rite...and we finally thought he was out for good...turns out he's not...he's coming back racing for ASLANA! the reason that team wasn't accepted in Tour de France 2008 was DOPING SUSPICIONS! Guess that Lance Amstrong racing for them really says it all rite?
