Look Out Cancer. Lance Is Really Motivated

As broken by our site several months back, Lance Armstrong is preparing to go back to the Tour de France to try and win Numero Ocho.  And if you recall, he then publicly stated that his motivation for coming out of retirement was to vamp up the (waning?) support for finding the cure for cancer.  You know like he was just in bed one morning with an Olsen twin wrapped around one of his ankles, and screamed out “THIS JUST WONT DO.  I MUST DO MORE!!!!”

You know so self-less.  Such a man bound by duty and service.

And so today I read this quote from our shining philanthropist regarding his current fitness and motivation:

“I’m much better physically now,” he said at his home in Austin, Texas. “And mentally there is no comparison. I’m far stronger and more motivated….”

Damn cancer.  Look the fuck out, right?

“The motivation of 2008 feels like the motivation of 1999.  I was back from cancer then. I had the motivation of vengeance because nobody wanted me or believed in me.”

Hmmm…Interesting.  Fighting for cancer makes him foam and seethe at the mouth just like people not believing in him and doubting him used to.

….All I can say is, ‘Wow’.  What a guy.  This 37 year old, out of retirement…FORMER champion no longer needs a silly thing like vengeance to get him revving on all cylinders. Oh, no.   It’s to further spread the awareness of cancer that does it.

How far this man has evolved.
