Seven time Tour De France winner and cancer survivor, Lance Armstrong, is rumored to be coming out of retirement to ride with the Astana team for five road races, including the Tour De France. Armstrong, who is a hero to millions despite rampant rumors of blood doping, will post all of his internally tested blood work online in an effort to silence the critics. Regardless of how he fares, it will be good for the sport. I haven’t paid one bit of attention to cycling since his last TDF victory.

Well that’s a good reason to get interested again right? sounds good to me!
All of the greats try it – Ali, Jordan etc and usually with no the best results. There is a blog post http://bicyclespokesman.com/lance-armstrong-will-come-out-of-retirement/ that gives some background on what might be motivating Lance to return
I respect the hell outta Lance for his cancer battle….but am I the only one that goes pfft when his name comes up…Go away, Lance.
