Three years after retiring following his last Tour de France win, LANCE ARMSTRONG announced in September his return to competition and the Tour de France in 2009. He called his comeback an attempt to raise global awareness in his fight against cancer.

CNN first reported the news of LANCE ARMSTRONG's and ANNA HANSEN impending parenthood on its Web site Tuesday night.

Diagnosed in 1996 with testicular cancer that had spread to his lungs and brain, doctors gave LANCE ARMSTRONG less than a 50 percent chance of survival. Surgery and brutal cycles of chemotherapy saved his life.

LANCE ARMSTRONG and his former wife Kristin had three children using in vitro fertilization with sperm he had banked before his chemotherapy.

Cancer survivor and cycling phenom LANCE ARMSTRONG is expecting a baby with girlfriend ANNA HANSEN. Lance froze his sperm prior to receiving cancer treatment in 1996, and he has three other children with ex-wife Kristin, who conceived using those frozen swimmers and in vitro. This baby with Anna is the first he’s conceived naturally. (Lance clearly has super magic sperm!) ANNA HANSEN is due in June 2009, and the couple is said to be “thrilled.”

ANNA HANSEN met LANCE ARMSTRONG through charity work, and they have been quietly dating since July 2008, shortly after his relationship with Kate Hudson ended. Their baby was unplanned (obviously), and indicates that after all these years, testicular cancer survivor Lance’s sperm are working again. This is rare and only happens to a small handful of survivors.
