Armstrong Wins AP Male Athlete of the Year

Lance Armstrong is the Associated Press Male Athlete of the Year. Armstrong says he's ready to dedicate his time to lobbying for money for cancer research and survivorship programs.

''Cancer and what all can be done there, not just in the world of health care, but if it's education or political, this is a very real issue,'' Armstrong said. ''We're at an interesting time in medical research. That would be a serious rush for me if I could effect change there."

Armstrong points to Bono's lobbying for help for the world's poor and AIDS-stricken as an example of the power celebrity can bring.
