Lance Armstrong
I have been dealing with claims that I cheated and had an unfair advantage in winning my seven Tours since 1999.
Lance Armstrong
It's a great feeling when someone like Bernard Hinault comes up to you on the podium to say 'Welcome to the club
Lance Armstrong
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
Obviously, I come from one background, and the people that design fitness equipment have been doing it for years and years, and they know what works and doesn't work.
