Lance is back!
Armstrong has confirmed that he will be coming out of retirement to go for his 8th win (which would be another record) in the 2009 Tour de France.
In a statement to the Associated Press, Lance said:
Rumors are swirling that Lance Armstrong will come out of retirement next year to compete in five road races. Rumors of Armstrong’s return swirled at last week’s Eurobike trade show in Germany and this week’s Tour of Missouri.
Armstrong, who turns 37 this month, will supposedly ride with the Astana team, and compete in the Amgen Tour of California, Paris-Nice, the Tour de Georgia, the Dauphiné Libéré and the Tour de France — and will race for neither salary nor bonuses, the sources, who asked to remain anonymous, told VeloNews. Should Armstrong return with Astana, it would bolster a squad that arguably boasts the sport’s best stage-racing team.
However an Astana spokesman denied the report to The Associated Press.
Sources supposedly close to the story have told VeloNews that an exclusive article on the matter will be published in an upcoming issue of Vanity Fair, expected later this month. Vanity Fair editors did not respond to requests for comment.
According to sources, the Texan will post all of his internally tested blood work online, in an attempt to establish complete transparency and prove that he is a clean athlete.
Other rumors are that Armstrong will continue to pursue mountain bike racing, and may try his hand at cyclocross as well.
Armstrong re-enrolled himself into the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency’s out-of-competition testing pool prior to August’s Leadville Trail 100 mountain bike race, where he finished second to Dave Wiens, said USA Cycling chief operating officer Sean Petty.
USADA rules state that any athlete who wishes to come out of retirement must enroll in the USADA out-of-competition testing program for at least six months in advance of regaining eligible status.
A return to racing would no doubt bring large crowds to American races, and could perhaps save the Tour de Georgia, which is struggling to land a title sponsor.
They’ve been a mainstay of cuteness since they got together three months ago, but over the weekend Kate Hudson and Lance Armstrong announced that they’ve called it quits on their relationship.

Lance Armstrong, champion bicyclist/Olsen dater/cancer survivor, held his annual LIVESTRONG Day yesterday. It's a day dedicated to gathering people together to fight cancer. In a recent Wall Street Journal, Armstrong wrote about what he believes will work in the fight against cancer.
"What can you do? Ask your local, state and national lawmakers what steps they'll take against tobacco, the number one cause of cancer, and how they'll ensure that all of us - not just star athletes and politicians - have access to prevention efforts, early screening and effective treatment. Educate yourself and others. Support cancer programs in your community. Live a healthy life. And vote."
And don't date any Olsens. They're probably radioactive.

Nick Ragone, an executive at the huge PR agency Ketchum [Disclosure: and an occasional source of mine at PRWeek], has a new book out about Presidents, for some reason. And he's putting those PR skills to use for it. It's on Page Six today! He has a podcast about it! And an op-ed in PRWeek about how "real" authenticity is "essential" for corporations and politicians alike! How does Ketchum, which does everything from sell you food to lobby your politicians, teach its employees to be such paragons of authenticity in communications?
Maybe by applying the lessons they learned while brokering the Armstrong Williams- US Department of Education payola scandal of 2005. They helped set up the $240,000 contract that put the ostensibly independent commentator on the government's payroll to talk sweet about the "No Child Left Behind" program, ultimately destroying his career and tarnishing the entire PR industry (if you believe such a thing is possible). And then pinned all the blame on Williams himself!
Nick Ragone didn't have anything to do with that contract, as far as I know. But as a rule of thumb, if you ever meet somebody from Ketchum, ask them about the Armstrong Williams thing. They love to talk about it.
Hope your book makes you enough money to get out of PR, Nick!
You have to admit, the man has endurance. And clearly Lance Armstrong believes that the best defense against accusations that he's robbing the cradle with Ashley Olsen is to immediately hook up with some other woman. Lance Armstrong has now been spotted getting all cozy and flirty with a mystery blonde at the Nascar Nextel Cup Series Party at Club Marquee in NYC. The gaunt cyclist, who has recently been seen stepping out with Ashley Olsen (ugh, that's a lot of bones scraping up against one another and I think I may have made that joke before, but it bears repeating) seems hell-bent on continuing to sow his wild oats and spent most of the evening making out with this new blonde woman. I'm surprised I haven't made out with him yet--oh that's right, I don't live in New York. My turn will come, though, I'm sure.

Amid all the speculation and scandal surrounding the rumored romance between Lance Armstrong and Ashley Olsen, the Tour De France champ is crying foul.
He told press, “Ashley Olsen and I are strictly friends. We have hung out amongst other friends, and she strikes me as a nice, smart lady.”
Lance Armstrong has got his unitard in a twist over all these reports that he's diddling Ashley Olsen. Note that I said "diddle" because he's sorta old and she's sorta young and it's also kinda like he's molesting a unicorn. She looks otherworldly and that other world is Middle Earth!
"Ashley Olsen and I are strictly friends," the world-renowned athlete told us. "We have hung out amongst other friends, and she strikes me as a nice, smart lady."Oh really? Have you ever even managed to understand her elvish tongue?

As we reported yesterday, Ashley Olsen is currently rubbing herself up on Lance Armstrong's unitard. This is an interesting coupling. Lance seems to be all about sunshine and bike-riding and can-do attitude. Ashley's hiding in bushes with cigarettes and a XXL latte. I don't get it.
Page Six's ever-alert observers spotted the duo enjoying a romantic dinner at Graydon Carter's Waverly Inn on Tuesday night. The night before, Armstrong was seen "making out" with the tiny actress perched on his lap at the Gramercy Park Hotel's Rose Bar.
What do they talk about?
Lance: "Yeah, so my bike chain broke one time during the race. I had to get off my bike, take a wrench out of my spandex and bang that baby back into submission! And this when I had cancer in my nuts!"
Ashley: "I'm like...yeah...well, you know...oh, yeah....she's really pretty...i like that sweater.....I'm cold. Cold. Very cold."

In one of the most unlikely matches that you could possibly dream up, Full House star Ashley Olsen has reportedly found love with Tour de France champion Lance Armstrong.
According to New York Post’s Page Six, Olsen, 21, was seen Monday night getting cozy with the 36-year-old retired cyclist at New York’s Gramercy Park Hotel.
Dirty Sexy Money star Samaire Armstrong has entered into an outpatient treatment program due to “personal issues” but will continue to work on the show, her rep tells PEOPLE.
“Samaire Armstrong decided to enter an outpatient facility to deal with some personal issues in a therapeutic atmosphere and is doing very well,” the rep said in a statement Friday. “She continues to work on her show and will be completing her treatment in a matter of weeks.”
The nature of the personal issues wasn’t revealed, but I think we all know personal issues tends to mean drug addiction in Hollywood. Or maybe, she has anger management issues and is the biggest biatch on the set. It’s fun to guess how f***ed up people are, huh?
