More quotes by Lance Armstrong
I have never had a single positive doping test, and I do not take performance-enhancing drugs.
Lance Armstrong
No one automatically gives you respect just because you show up. You have to earn it
Lance Armstrong
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
I figure the faster I pedal, the faster I can retire.
Lance Armstrong
Hope that is the only antidote to fear.
Lance Armstrong
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.
Lance Armstrong

Lance Armstrong
I tried to control the narrative.
Lance Armstrong

Lance Armstrong
I have never doped. I can say it again, but I've said it for seven years.
Lance Armstrong
A boo is a lot louder than a cheer.
Lance Armstrong
I am just coming into my best years. This year I did new things stretching and abdominal work.
Lance Armstrong
Nobody wants to hear how I think I've been mistreated, or how I think my punishment should be lifted, or tweaked, or reduced. Nobody wants to hear me say that, nobody cares what I think about this. I get it.
Lance Armstrong
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.
Lance Armstrong
My house is burned, but I can see the sky.
Lance Armstrong
If you worried about falling off the bike, you'd never get on.
Lance Armstrong
