Image
I'm not willing to put a percentage on the chances but I will no longer rule it out.
Lance Armstrong
Image
Twenty-plus-year career, 500 drug controls worldwide, in and out of competition. Never a failed test. I rest my case.
Lance Armstrong
Image
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.
Lance Armstrong
Image
I figure the faster I pedal, the faster I can retire.
Lance Armstrong
Image
Pain is temporary. Eventually it will subside. If I quit, however, the surrender stays with me.
Lance Armstrong
Image
What is stronger, fear or hope?
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
I may be in timeout forever. But I hope not to be.
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.
Lance Armstrong
Image
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.
Lance Armstrong
Image
I am just coming into my best years. This year I did new things stretching and abdominal work.

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.
Lance Armstrong
Image
So if there is a purpose to the suffering that is cancer, I think it must be this: it's meant to improve us.
Lance Armstrong
Image
I'm sorry you don't believe in miracles.
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
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.
Lance Armstrong
Image
Made plenty of mistakes along the way - all of which I am truly sorry.
Lance Armstrong
Image
The idea that anybody was forced, or pressured, or encouraged, is not true.
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
It's a fact that children with cancer have higher cure rates than adults with cancer, and I wonder if the reason is their natural, unthinking bravery... Adults know too much about failure they're more cynical and resigned and fearful.
