The pain is so deep and strong that a curtain descends over your brain….Once someone asked me what pleasure I took in riding for so long. ‘PLEASURE????

Lance Armstrong
If you worried about falling off the bike, you'd never get on.
Lance Armstrong
Hey. Pain can last a moment, it can last a day, it can last a week, it can last a long..long time, but it can't last forever and the only thing that can last forever is if you quit.
Lance Armstrong
I have been dealing with claims that I cheated and had an unfair advantage in winning my seven Tours since 1999.
