Sick Of "Spending Time With The Family?"

NBC Sports:

Lance Armstrong will come out of retirement and race in the Tour de France next year, sources close to the situation have told Velo News.

Armstrong, who will turn 37 years old this month, would race with Astana, the sources said.

The seven-time Tour de France winner will race in the Amgen Tour of California, Paris-Nice, the Tour de Georgia, the Dauphine-Libere and the Tour de France — for no salary or bonuses.

This is nothing but good news for cycling. The return of the hero will make everyone temporarily forget about all of the doping scandals that have plagued the sport in the last few years. Never mind that they ALL dope in some form.

But, good for him for continuing to do what he loves.
