Lance Armstrong's 2010 Tour De France preparations have been thrown into disarray with the cancer survivor spending more time on the porcelain throne than in the saddle.Armstrong has been struck down with a severe case of gastroenteritis with only 2 months before the Tour commences and with no sign that he will recover quickly, there are doubts that he will make the start line in competitive condition. Armstrong was in the middle of the four-day Circuit de la Sarthe race, in the north-west of France when the illness struck. The bout was so bad that Armstrong returned home to his native Texas and has spent the last week recovering.
Armstrong recently tweeted that he was"Not so lucky I guess. Sicker than a dog now. This sucks." He has only just started eating food again. As such, serious questions now have to raised as to how ready Armstrong will be for the Tour. That said, if anyone has the willpower and determination to overcome the odds, Armstrong is a good bet.
