Lance is Back!

The rumors are true: Lance Armstrong is returning to professional cycling. 


Lance Armstrong celebrates his 7th Tour de France win.


True, I am a few days late with "breaking" this news, but I still felt I needed to mention it. The reasons for his return are twofold. The obvious reason is to win the Tour de France again, which would be a record 8th time (He already holds the record for winning it 7 times). Also, in doing so he wants to prove that he wasn't doping and isn't doping and that he can win without drugs. With how laden professional cycling has been with doping charges, this is very welcomed. Rumors are that he will post his drug tests online so that everyone can view them. This is a very positive step in professional cycling, especially when considering what Team Slipstream (now Team Garmin/Chipotle) has been doing this year already.

Well, enough of my talking about it. To find out more about it from Lance himself, check out his Livestrong blog.
