Chris Hoy has announced that he has terminal cancer.

The six-time Olympic track cycling champion revealed in an interview with The Sunday Times that he has two to four years to live.

Hoy announced in February that he was diagnosed with cancer last year and is undergoing treatment, including chemotherapy.

According to the Sunday Times, Hoy had known about the terminal diagnosis for a year. He revealed that he felt tension in his shoulder last September, and after tests, doctors told him it was caused by a tumor.

Further tests revealed cancer in his prostate, metastasized to his bones, and tumors in his pelvis, hip, spine, and ribs, the Sunday Times reported.

“And so it goes. . the tumor was found in the hip, spine, and ribs,” Hoy wrote.

The 48-year-old Hoy won six gold medals at the 2004, 2008, and 2012 Olympics, including titles in the 1km time trial, team sprint, keirin, and individual sprint.

These medals mean that he ranks among Britain's greatest Olympians, and his six gold medals are one shy of fellow track star Jason Kenny. He also won 11 world titles in the same track discipline between 2002 and 2012.

Last year, while writing his memoir All That Matters: My Toughest Race Yet, Hoy revealed that he had been undergoing chemotherapy since November. He said he disclosed that he was terminally ill after a call from a journalist who asked if he was “terminally ill.”

“It was very frustrating,” Hoy said. 'It would have happened at some point. And there was a sense of relief. Pandora's box had opened and I couldn't close it. But I felt relieved of the pressure."

”It may seem unnatural, but this is nature. We are all born and die, and this is part of the process,” Hui said, acknowledging that he at least had a chance to say goodbye to his loved ones. But I have been given enough time.”

Hoy said he is committed to organizing the annual “Tour de 4” charity bike ride to change the perception of a stage 4 cancer diagnosis. I still have a lot of life left in me.
