LANCE ARMSTRONG - ARMSTRONG CAN'T WAIT TO ROCK WITH SHERYL

Cycling superstar LANCE ARMSTRONG is thrilled to have retired from sport on a high at yesterday's (25JUL05) Tour De France, because he is desperate to live the rock'n'roll lifestyle.

The 33-year-old American wowed the crowds with his record-breaking seventh win, which saw him become the most successful Tour de France star of all time.

But he is now ready to ditch his healthy regime to start downing beer by the gallon with his rockstar girlfriend SHERYL CROW.

He says, "If she needs me to string a few guitars, I'll be happy to do whatever I can to help.

"Why not go hanging on a rock 'n' roll tour for a while, drink beer and have fun?"
