Quote

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.

I know what happened to cycling from 1999 to 2005. I saw its growth, I saw its expansion.
Lance Armstrong
Image
Nineteen hundred meters up there is completely different from1,900 any place else. There's no air, there's no oxygen. There's no vegetation, there's no life. There's no life. Rocks. Any other climb there's vegetation, grass and trees. Not there on the Ventoux. It's more like the moon than a mountain.

Portland, Oregon won't build a mile of road without a mile of bike path. You can commute there, even with that weather, all the time.

What makes a great endurance athlete is the ability to absorb potential embarrassment, and to suffer without complaint.
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.

Hard work, sacrifice and focus will never show up in tests.

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 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.

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.

If you're trying to hide something, you wouldn't keep getting away with it for 10 years. Nobody is that clever.
Lance Armstrong

It's nice to win. I'll never win again. I may have to take up golf - take on Tiger.
Lance Armstrong
Image
My mom was such a strong character. I don't want to say she was like a man, but she was tough.
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.

One of the redeeming things about being an athlete is redefining what is humanly possible.
Lance Armstrong
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

I have never had a single positive doping test, and I do not take performance-enhancing drugs.
Lance Armstrong
Image
I will spend the rest of my life trying to earn back trust and apologize to people.

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

So if there is a purpose to the suffering that is cancer, I think it must be this: it's meant to improve us.

You can teach someone how to control their strength, but you can't teach them to be strong.
