Great news: Lance Armstrong is alive!

The former cyclist posted an Instagram video Friday to prove he is very much alive despite a very random internet report to the contrary.

In the video shared Friday, Armstrong is holding a smartphone showing the false article on a totally no-at-all-fake-looking site called fox-news24.com.

So if you're scoring at home: Lance Armstrong, not dead.

Glad we could clear that up.
