I'm kind of with MIJB with this one. It's not like Armstrong came out of nowhere. He was an excellent cyclist before he had cancer. He just happened to have cancer and come back a better athlete and cyclist than he was before cancer. That's very rare.
I think a more apt comparison would be a former MVP who was 36 years old and seemingly past his prime showing up in 2001 and winning four straight MVP awards despite never testing positive for performance enhancers. Wait a minute ...
