I am flawed, deeply flawed. I didn't invent the [doping] culture but I didn't try to stop the culture and that's my mistake, and that's what I have to be sorry for.

More quotes by Lance Armstrong
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
You can teach someone how to control their strength, but you can't teach them to be strong.
Lance Armstrong
A bike ride. Yes, that's it! A simple bike ride. It's what I love to do and most days I can't believe they pay me to do it. A day is not the same without it.
Lance Armstrong
Athletes don't have much use for poking around in their childhoods, because, introspection doesn't get you anywhere in a race.
Lance Armstrong
Everybody wants to know what I'm on. What am I on? I'm on my bike busting my ass six hours a day. What are you on?
Lance Armstrong
On a friendship with former president George W. Bush: He's a personal friend, but we've all got the right not to agree with our friends.
Lance Armstrong
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.
Lance Armstrong
I'm cycling to take cancer message worldwide.
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.
Lance Armstrong
I joined the swim team when I was 12, and I was the worst kid in the pool - I was put with a group of 7-year-olds.
Lance Armstrong
I didn't just jump back on the bike and win. There were a lot of ups and downs, good results and bad results, but this time I didn't let the lows get to me.
Lance Armstrong
My house is burned, but I can see the sky.
Lance Armstrong
If there was a god, I'd still have both nuts.
Lance Armstrong
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.
Lance Armstrong
The riskiest thing you can do is get greedy.
Lance Armstrong
I have never doped. I can say it again, but I've said it for seven years.
Lance Armstrong
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
The Europeans look down on raising your hands. They don't like the end-zone dance. I think that's unfortunate. That feeling - the finish line, the last couple of meters - is what motivates me.
Lance Armstrong
There was certainly a dishonesty there that I think is totally regrettable and inexcusable. The ringleading, the bullying: not totally true.
Lance Armstrong
Made plenty of mistakes along the way - all of which I am truly sorry.
Lance Armstrong
