	Associated Press Athlete of the Year - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The first and most prestigious Athlete of the Year award in the United States was initiated by the Associated Press (AP) in 1931.
		At a time when women in sports were never given the same recognition as men, the AP offered a male and a female athlete of the year award to either a professional or amateur athlete.
		The awards are voted on annually by a panel of AP sports editors from across the United States.

	Lance Armstrong - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		These record-breaking feats were accomplished several years after brain and testicular surgery, and extensive chemotherapy in 1996, to treat testicular cancer that had metastasized to his brain and lungs.
		He was also named Associated Press Male Athlete of the Year for 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2005, received ESPN's ESPY Award for Best Male Athlete in 2003, 2004, 2005, and 2006, and won the BBC Sports Personality of the Year Overseas Personality Award in 2003.
		Later that same year, Armstrong was given an honorary degree of doctor in humane letters from Tufts University and gave the commencement address.

	Tiger Woods voted AP Male Athlete of the Year
		Woods is the first golfer to be honored as Male Athlete of the Year by the AP since Lee Trevino in 1971 and is only the fifth golfer to receive the award since it was instituted in 1931.
		He won the opening tournament of the year in dramatic fashion when he nearly made a hole-in-one on the first playoff hole at the Mercedes Championships in January.
		For a while in 1997 it appeared as if Woods were superhuman, and though he tailed off in the second half of the year it was clear that he was the equal of the enormous hype that accompanied his arrival on the PGA Tour.
