Cycling star Lance Armstrong is expecting a baby with his girlfriend, Anna Hansen, in June, the seven-time Tour de France champion has announced.
Armstrong said: "Anna and I are thrilled to confirm that we are expecting in June and our families are ecstatic and grateful."
The 37-year-old American has three children from his previous marriage with Kristin Richards.
After being diagnosed with testicular cancer in 1996, Armstrong underwent chemotherapy treatment as the cancer spread to other parts of his body.
The children with his ex-wife were conceived using sperm Armstrong stockpiled prior to his cancer treatment.

It was initially thought the chemotherapy would leave him unable to have further children.
This time the couple are expecting without the use of artificial fertilisation.

rapid_uphill: he only had 1 testicle removed, therefore he isnt 'nutless' as you so delightfully put it.

Awesome news for them both but I'm sure some muppet or hater will be allong soon to say that he's only a daddy again due to some drug-use. Me? I'm overjoyed for him! The guy has done a lot to bring our sport to the masses. He deserves some happiness.
Go on son!

And they have the added advantage of being able to find the kid in the dark. ;) Congratulations to Lance & Anna.
