Seven-times Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong has announced he is now the proud father of a newborn baby son called Max.
The 37-year-old survivor of testicular cancer announced the news via his Twitter page, reporting that his new child weighed seven pounds and five ounces and is 20 inches long. In a posting on his Twitter page, Armstrong displayed a picture with the caption “Wassup, world My name is Max Armstrong and I just arrived. My Mommy is healthy and so am I!” Armstrong announced last December that he and girlfriend Anna Hansen — an actress and one-time beauty queen — were expecting their first child together. The American has three children with former wife Kristin. Armstrong returned to competitive cycling this year, following a three-year break, in an attempt to publicize his Livestrong cancer foundation.
