Add another trophy to Lance Armstrong's shelf — Outdoor Person of the Year — chosen by Hooked on the Outdoor Magazine.

The Armstrong award is explained at DirtRag.com.

“When Hooked on the Outdoors, one of the least commercialized, backyard outdoor magazines available chooses one of the most commercialized athletes of present day to receive its prestigious Outdoor Person of the Year (OPY) Award, you know that person has got to be someone rather extraordinary.”

Not only did Armstrong win this seventh consecutive Tour de France, an unprecedented feat, but his fund-raising work resulted in $9.6 million in grants for cancer research.
