Lance Armstrong certainly knows how to stay in the news.  The latest on Armstrong is that he has been cleared by the French anti-doping agency over the questions surrounding his latest drug test, and the incident with the shower.  He passed the test, but was later found under suspicion due to his request to take a shower prior to taking the drug test.  The shower was ok’d by the official requesting the test, so it was a bit strange that there was outrage following the event.

“The [agency] has decided to take into account the written explanations of the sportsman and, consequently, not to open disciplinary proceedings regarding its opposition to these facts,” the statement said. “The analysis of Lance Armstrong’s urinary and blood tests did not reveal any anomaly. An analysis of a sample of his hair was not carried out.”

Well, this is certainly good news for Lance Armstrong, and his many fans.  It’s not surprising that they let him ride though.  If they didn’t it would set a pretty bad precedent, considering that he actually passed the test.  Not only that, he’s passed 24 other drug tests since ending his retirement last September.

Now let’s hope his broken collarbone is healing well so he can ride strong.
