Armstrong to return, ride in '09 Tour
7-time winner to come out of retirement and race for Astana, sources say
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.
Armstrong's manager, Mark Higgins, did not answer questions.
An article about Armstrong's comeback will be published in the upcoming issue of Vanity Fair, Velo News said.
Armstrong reportedly will reunite with his former team manager Johan Bruyneel, who guided Armstrong and his teams Motorola and U.S. Postal Service to seven straight Tour de France titles.
Sources also told Velo News that Armstrong will post all of his internally tested blood work online to prove that he's clean.

Naked Ambition
These pictures are amazing! The swimmer's picture is my favorite, though I do appreciate them all.

Naked ambition: Britain's Olympians strip down as they prepare to make history in Beijing
By Arthur Martin
"The images will be used as part of an advertising campaign for Powerade, the official sports drink of the Beijing Games."
"'Nadav [the photographer] made us all feel really comfortable, and we had a lot of fun. The Inner Gear for an athlete - how we train, what we eat, drink and when we sleep - is as important as what we wear, and it's great that a campaign like this brings it to life.'"
"Cathryn Sleight, marketing director for Coca-Cola Great Britain which produces Powerade, added: 'Everyone is used to seeing athletes in competition or winning, but we wanted to give people the chance to see the real make-up of an athlete and their muscle and power, celebrating the body and spirit and the hard work that goes into training for all athletes whatever your level.'"

My name is Lynn, I'm 32 years old, single with no children. I'm embarking on this mission to become a triathlete because I want to prove to myself that I am strong enough. I'm also looking forward to seeing my fellow Tri-Divas achieve their goals!
