If you worried about falling off the bike, you'd never get on.
Lance Armstrong
Image
I know what happened to my foundation, from raising no money to raising $500m, serving three million people. Do we want to take that away? I don't think anybody says yes.
Lance Armstrong
Image
To all the cynics, I'm sorry for you. I'm sorry you can't believe in miracles. This is a great sporting event and hard work wins it.
Lance Armstrong
Image
The unwillingness to accept anything short of victory, that underlying fury, is the fundamental building block of my bottomless motivation to succeed. It is my credo in all that I do in life from battling cancer to bicycle racing.

The truth is, if you asked me to choose between winning the Tour de France and cancer, I would choose cancer. Odd as it sounds, I would rather have the title of cancer survivor than winner of the Tour, because of what it has done for me as a human being, a man, a husband, a son, and a father.

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.
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
The body is telling the mind to stop. The mind is telling the body to shut up.
Lance Armstrong
Image
When I made the decision - when my team-mates made that decision, when the whole peloton made that decision - it was a bad decision and an imperfect time. But it happened.

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

I exercise everyday. I swim, I bike, I run and I go to the gym.

Knowledge is power, community is strength and positive attitude is everything

I love this race from the very depths of my heart. It gives me motivation and it transcendsme like nothing else in the world.

Chasing records doesn't keep me on my bike. Happiness does.

It's ironic, I used to ride my bike to make a living. Now I just want to live so that I can ride.
