I've given gifts in the Tour de France and it's come back to bit me. So no gifts.

I know what happened to cycling from 1999 to 2005. I saw its growth, I saw its expansion.
Lance Armstrong
Image
The biggest losers are those who care only about winning.
Lance Armstrong
Image
It's simple. Success comes from training harder, living better and digging deeper than the others.
Lance Armstrong
Image
Extraordinary allegations require extraordinary evidence.
Lance Armstrong
Image
I still don't get golf.
Lance Armstrong
Image
It's ironic, I used to ride my bike to make a living. Now I just want to live so that I can ride.
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 I was racing in 2015, no, I wouldn't do it again because I don't think you have to. If you take me back to 1995, when doping was completely pervasive, I would probably do it again.
Lance Armstrong
Image
I'm sorry you don't believe in miracles.
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.
Lance Armstrong
Image
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.
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
You can teach someone how to control their strength, but you can't teach them to be strong.
Lance Armstrong
Image
Knowledge is power, community is strength and positive attitude is everything
Lance Armstrong
Image
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.

If you worried about falling off the bike, you'd never get on.
Lance Armstrong
Image
Cancer taught me a plan for more purposeful living, and that in turn taught me how to train and to win more purposefully. It taught me that pain has a reason, and that sometimes the experience of losing things-whether health or a car or an old sense of self-has its own value in the scheme of life. Pain and loss are great enhancers.

I have never had a single positive doping test, and I do not take performance-enhancing drugs.
Lance Armstrong
Image
When I was sick, I didn't want to die. When I race, I don't want to lose. Dying and losing, it's the same thing.
Lance Armstrong
Image
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.
