In a surprising move the UCI has announced that Lance Armstrong will get the ultimate “do over,” and will take part in this summer’s 100th running of the Tour de France. Apparently Armstrong had convinced the cycling governing body that he should be given the chance to prove that he can race clean.
In a statement the UCI said, “Mr. Armstrong has admitted his mistakes, but given that much of the peloton was getting some sort of enhancement as well we can’t fault his decision. He did have cancer, which claimed one of his testicles after all. Hasn’t Armstrong paid enough.”
The Tour de France will begin on June 29 in Corsica, the first time the Tour has visited the island Metropolitan department of France.
