More quotes by Lance Armstrong

Image
It's frustrating in the sense that I still think I could be competing at some sport at a fairly high level, which nobody cares about. Nobody wants to hear me say that.
Lance Armstrong
Image
I am flawed, deeply flawed. I didn't invent the [doping] culture but I didn't try to stop the culture and that's my mistake, and that's what I have to be sorry for.
Lance Armstrong
Image
Nobody wants to hear how I think I've been mistreated, or how I think my punishment should be lifted, or tweaked, or reduced. Nobody wants to hear me say that, nobody cares what I think about this. I get it.

Image
I know what happened to cycling from 1999 to 2005. I saw its growth, I saw its expansion.
Lance Armstrong
Image
I have never had a single positive doping test, and I do not take performance-enhancing drugs.

Image
A boo is a lot louder than a cheer, if you have 10 people cheering and one person booing, all you hear is the booing.
Lance Armstrong
Image
I love this race from the very depths of my heart. It gives me motivation and it transcendsme like nothing else in the world.
Lance Armstrong
Image
Obviously, I come from one background, and the people that design fitness equipment have been doing it for years and years, and they know what works and doesn't work.
Lance Armstrong
Image
During our lives...we experience so many setbacks, and fight such a hand-to-hand battle with failure, head down in the rain, just trying to stay upright and to have a little hope.
Lance Armstrong
Image
I guess if I looked at it from an athletic standpoint, I don't really need to win another Tour. Seven Tours for me was a dream, six broke the record, so that eight doesn't really mean much.
Lance Armstrong
Image
If life gives you lemons, drink the juice in order to mask the presence of performing-enhancing drugs.
Lance Armstrong
Image
But, listen, Eddie Merkyx would have won six Tours if he hadn't been punched.
Lance Armstrong
Image
Nothing goes to waste, you put it all to use, the old wounds and long-ago slights become the stuff of competitive energy.
Lance Armstrong
Image
At least I didn't invent a dead girlfriend

No one automatically gives you respect just because you show up. You have to earn it

Fear is priceless education.

The ban doesn't have anything to do with Livestrong or my ability to work in [the cancer] community. Perhaps it speeds it up. I don't know the examples in Great Britain of athletes who have fallen. I know the examples in the United States - the Tiger Woods, the Michael Vicks, even the Bill Clintons - people who are still out there able to work.

The way you live your life, the perspective you select, is a choice you make every single day when you wake up. It's yours to decide.

My career is going to be played out year by year. Will I be here in 2004? I don't know. The record won't keep me here. Happiness will.

I have never doped … I have competed as an endurance athlete for 25 years with no spike in performance, passed more than 500 drug tests and never failed one.
