American Lance Armstrong wins Tour de France

In one of the biggest comeback stories in sports, cancer survivor Lance Armstrong won the Tour de France Sunday. Armstrong, who started his victory ride three weeks ago by winning the prologue, became the first American since Greg LeMond in 1990 to win the Tour. The 27-year-old Texan withstood the mountain stages, drug accusations and the burden of the yellow jersey to reach Paris.
