AUSTIN, DEC 28. Even by his lofty standards, Lance Armstrong's return to the mountaintop in 2004 was pretty special. Already recognised as one of the truly inspiring athletes of his generation, Armstrong took his cycling legacy a step further when he won a record-breaking sixth consecutive Tour de France in July. And for his accomplishment, he was honoured yesterday as The Associated Press Male Athlete of the Year for the third straight year. Armstrong joined Michael Jordan (1991-93) as the only athletes selected by American sports writers and broadcasters three straight times since the honour was first awarded in 1931.Armstrong received 51 first-place votes and 312 total points. Indianapolis Colts quarterback Peyton Manning was second with 17 first-place votes and 156 points. — AP
