Cycling legend Greg LeMond has announced he has been diagnosed with leukaemia at the age of 60.
The three-time Tour de France winner gained fame as one of the best cyclists in the world during the 1980s. LeMond is also the only American to have officially won the race after Lance Armstrong 's seven titles were discounted due to illegal doping.
The man affectionately known as 'LeMonster' was convinced to visit the doctors after "a few weeks of fatigue." Despite his intentions to watch this year's Tour in person, the California native confirmed he now planned to keep up to date from his home in Tennessee.
