Better check your facts. Steroid use is not linked to testicular cancer. Another person just spouting out false information.

Lance Armstrong: Out of Retirement for Another Tour de France
Tuesday September 9, 2008
 John Shearer/WireImage.com Lance Armstrong is coming out of retirement with the intention of competing in yet another Tour de France. "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," the 36-year-old told the Associated Press. Armstrong hopes to add an eighth Tour de France win to his record of seven consecutive first-place finishes. The race "is the intention," his spokesman told AP, "but we've got some homework to do over there." Armstrong's feat is well-known. In 1996, he had a 50 percent chance of survival after being diagnosed with testicular cancer that had spread to his lungs and brain. He's also a magnet for celebrity hookups, including Kate Hudson, Sheryl Crow and designer Tory Burch. See photos of Us' Cads of the Year. "I had sex if I had the energy," he says in the October issue of Men's Journal. "I wasn't one of those guys who believed in the myths about the guy losing his chi. "But the fact is that if you are riding your bike five, six, seven hours a day, you are not a sex champion," he explained. "You're just not. You have fatigue, low testosterone and a lower libido." Grinning, he added, "But you know, I never got any complaints." See photos of Celebrity Bromances. Join Us on Facebook and Twitter for even more up to the minute celebrity news and photos!

Funny how people just can't accept the fact that Lance is the greatest man to ever ride a bicycle. There are so many jealous people out there who can only dream of accomplishing what he has. I, for one, am extremely excited to watch him prove all of the "haters" and jealous aholes wrong...once and for all! GO LANCE!!!!

Armstrong is a joke. An arrogant joke. One of 2 things will happen - he'll get caught for doping - FINALLY - with the new drug test procedures, or he'll fail miserably. I'd be happy with either one. He's a vile, arrogant, punk.

Armstrong's ego is way bigger than his little *ick. Now he's going to "come back" So what? Did he find new drugs that won't be detected after all his former team mates got caught doping? FYI, the people in Austin HATE him because he's an arrogant punk.

Who cares? Armstrong was a doper that never got caught. Can you honestly believe that he was the ONLY rider in the top 20 that didn't dope? All the others got caught. He just had better drugs. He ruined the sport for a decade. LEAVE US ALONE ARMSTRONG! We're better off without you.

Trust me, he's getting weaker as he gets older. His "endurance" isn't all that great. Without the drugs he used to take, he won't do well.

It's disgusting that One Nut will once again abandon his kids so he and his giant EGO can ride a bicycle around Europe. I wonder if he knows drugs testing is much better now and he won't get away with it AGAIN. I hope he fails miserably. FAIL ONE NUT! FAIL!!!

We don't want him. The tour is aiming to be "clean" now, so that means he is out.

If he's doing it for charity and does not mind finishing in 6th or 7th place...fine. If he seriously thinks he can be numero uno again he is way out of line. Lance..please don't be the Katerina Witt of cycling.

So tell us 12:03 AM Anonymous, how many MILLIONS of dollars have YOU raised in the fight against cancer? None? So STFU. And just FYI, Lance and his wife met after he recovered from cancer. And Sheryl Crow got cancer after she and Lance broke up. Which makes you pretty stupid.

12:03 AM Anonymous you are yet another idiot who comments without even bothering to know the facts. Lance Armstrong met his ex-wife AFTER he had RECOVERED from cancer. They met at a benefit for the cancer association. So NO..he did not "dump her" after she "stood by him when he had cancer". And the divorce was a MUTUAL decision. I've heard his ex talk and she said it was very much HER choice for them to divorce. So..sorry..but you don't know $hit about Lance and his ex. GO LANCE!

this man is a pig and a media wh/?e. i just don't get the appeal. he dumped his wife after she stood by him and his cancer-because she had gotten religious. he then dumped sheryl crow when she got cancer. he seems to enjoy matthew mcconahays' company more anyway. all those steroids probably gave him cancer-they've been known too.

It's interesting how Lance said he'd have sex if he had the energy? Also, it's interesting what he said about biking and being a sex champion! But, it's great that she didn't have any complaints about being in bed!

It's awesome that Lance Armstrong is coming out of retirement for another Tour De France, after talking over with his kids, family and friends! I hope he does win an 8th Tour De France Title? It's great that he's doing this to raise awareness about cancer! I had no idea that, when he was diagnoed with testicular cancer, that it had spread to his lungs & brain! I'm glad he survived after being given a 50% chance of survival!
