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

I know what happened to cycling from 1999 to 2005. I saw its growth, I saw its expansion.
Lance Armstrong
Image
There was certainly a dishonesty there that I think is totally regrettable and inexcusable. The ringleading, the bullying: not totally true.

Pain is temporary. Eventually it will subside. If I quit, however, the surrender stays with me.
Lance Armstrong
Image
I am just coming into my best years. This year I did new things stretching and abdominal work.

A bike ride. Yes, that's it! A simple bike ride. It's what I love to do and most days I can't believe they pay me to do it. A day is not the same without 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.

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.

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.

I spent a long time trying to build up an organisation [the Lance Armstrong Foundation that changed its name to Livestrong after his confession] to help a lot of people.

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.

I've read that I flew up the hills and mountains of France. But you don't fly up a hill. You struggle slowly and painfully up a hill, and maybe, if you work very hard, you get to the top ahead of everybody else.

I will spend the rest of my life trying to earn back trust and apologize to people.

If life gives you lemons, drink the juice in order to mask the presence of performing-enhancing drugs.

On a friendship with former president George W. Bush: He's a personal friend, but we've all got the right not to agree with our friends.

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.

I have never doped. I can say it again, but I've said it for seven years.
