Lance Armstrong has been cleared to make his cycling comeback in January's Tour Down Under in Australia.
The International Cycling Union (UCI) demands riders coming out of retirement need to be in their anti-doping regime for six months before racing again.
That would have made Armstrong, 37, who also plans to ride in the 2009 Tour de France, ineligible until 1 February.
But the UCI has made an exception to its rules, saying improved drug-testing standards means he can return early.
