Default Lance Armstrong to make a comeback
I'm absolutely in shock, I didn't think I'd ever get the chance to see him ride competitively...and now

BBC SPORT | Other sport... | Cycling | Armstrong to make shock comeback

He's undoubtably been encouraged by the fact that the winner of the TDF this year was 33, and that the favourite in Cadel Evans doesn't know the meaning of 'attack'.

Can he win it?

The more pertinent question is can he win it cleanly?

I think there's some debate about how cleanly he won it in the past.

I'll try and find some articles.

Lance Armstrong - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I guess the stink of drugs is endemic in tour cycling, especially during Armstrong's reign, and it's going to take a long time and a lot of proven clean tours to get rid of it.

As I understand it, one test after his last TDF win had traces of a banned substance, which was below the concentration required for a positive test......he later proved that an approved ointment or something he was using contained the substance.

ie. he was playing by the rules and the ointment was highly unlikely to have had any performance enhancing effects whatsoever.

I think the fact that he had the sack cancer and necrotic brain lesions was definitely performance un-enhancing...

....and that's just a load of hearsay, and rumour.....reality is that he's never tested positive for anything in his whole career.
