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.

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.

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
Image
I have been dealing with claims that I cheated and had an unfair advantage in winning my seven Tours since 1999.

If there is a defining characteristic of a man as opposed to a boy, maybe it's patience.
Lance Armstrong
Image
Athletes don't have much use for poking around in their childhoods, because, introspection doesn't get you anywhere in a race.
Lance Armstrong
Image
Pain is temporary. Eventually it will subside. If I quit, however, the surrender stays with me.
Lance Armstrong
Image
People refer to 'the good ol' days', but I don't know what they're talking about. As someone who's battled cancer, if I lived more than 20 years ago, I'd be a dead man.
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.

Image
Fear is priceless education.
Lance Armstrong
Image
Two things scare me. The first is getting hurt. But that's not nearly as scary as the second, which is losing.
Lance Armstrong
Image
When you know your not going to die, you have to ask yourself... What's the highest and best use for myself.
Lance Armstrong
Image
I want to die at a hundred years old with an American flag on my back and the star of Texas on my helmet, after screaming down an Alpine descent on a bicycle at 75 miles per hour.
Lance Armstrong
Image
Winning is about heart, not just legs. It's got to be in the right place.
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.

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.

I'm cycling to take cancer message worldwide.

Image
I guess if I looked at it from an athletic standpoint, I don't really need to win another Tour. Seven Tours for me was a dream, six broke the record, so that eight doesn't really mean much.

A bicycle is the long-sought means of transportation for all of us who have runaway hearts.

Hey. Pain can last a moment, it can last a day, it can last a week, it can last a long..long time, but it can't last forever and the only thing that can last forever is if you quit.
Lance Armstrong

Hope that is the only antidote to fear.
