NEW DELHI:
India’s cancer-stricken all-rounder Yuvraj Singh said he was inspired after getting a message from US cycling legend Lance Armstrong wishing him a speedy recovery. The all-rounder is currently undergoing chemotherapy in the US for a malignant tumour located between his lungs. “Message from Armstrong makes me feel better,” tweeted Yuvraj. He said earlier that he had been drawing inspiration from Armstrong, who overcame testicular cancer to win the Tour de France seven times. A photo of Armstrong’s message, posted on Yuvraj’s Twitter account, read: “I want you to know that the entire Livestrong team is here for you... to help you and your family in any way possible.”
