Lance Armstrong to ride in Livestrong Challenge for first time since drug scandal

Lance Armstrong will ride in October's Livestrong Challenge charity race for the first time since his extensive doping past came to light in 2012.

Disgraced American cyclist Lance Armstrong will ride in the Livestrong Challenge for the first time since 2012, when his doping was uncovered.

The 43-year-old, who was stripped of his seven Tour de France titles three years ago after the US Anti-Doping Agency revealed the extent of his doping past, registered for the charity ride earlier this month.

Armstrong founded the Livestrong Foundation back in 1997 after surviving testicular cancer, but was pressured to leave the board after it emerged that he had taken performance-enhancing drugs during his career.

The Texan, who recently donated $5,000 (£3,252) to the Foundation, told AP that he still feels "humbled and proud" of the work that Livestrong do to help cancer sufferers.

The race will be held in Austin in October.
