Cyclist Lance Armstrong announced that he will be coming out of retirement and is shooting for an eight win at the Tour de France."I have decided to return to professional cycling in order to raise awareness of the global cancer burden," the seven-time Tour de France champion said in a statement issued by his LiveStrong Foundation.
Armstrong said in an interview with Vanity Fair that is certain that he will compete in the Tour de France next summer.
"I'm going back to professional cycling," he said in the interview. "I'm going to try and win an eighth Tour de France."
The cyclist said that he will not comment further until September 24, when he will formally announce his return to pro-cycling at a Clinton Global Initiative event.
