Cycling champion Lance Armstrong is engaged to rock star Sheryl Crow and is considering coming out of retirement to try for an eighth consecutive Tour de France victory, he told the Austin American-Statesman on Monday.
Since Armstrong and Crow have been living together for 18 months, their engagement may have been expected, though the couple has been dispelling breakup rumors since May.
But a spring wedding followed by a summer Tour?
"I'm thinking about it," Armstrong said. "I'm thinking it's the best way to piss (the French) off."
Armstrong said he has entertained the idea for only the past two weeks. He said he began thinking about it when a French newspaper reported Aug. 23 that he had tested positive six times for a banned blood booster as he was winning his first Tour in 1999.

The French shouldn't have started this new round of false steroid accusations.
Now Lance is ticked off enough to reel off 10 straight Tour de Frogs.

Disagree. Odds are he'll lose -- this last win wasn't easy. Go out with style, class, and on top. Don't let the Froggies get your goat.
