I know what happened to cycling from 1999 to 2005. I saw its growth, I saw its expansion.

When I was sick, I didn't want to die. When I race, I don't want to lose. Dying and losing, it's the same thing.

There was certainly a dishonesty there that I think is totally regrettable and inexcusable. The ringleading, the bullying: not totally true.

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
It's tougher for me. But I don't think that's imperative to me starting a new movement, or revive an old movement, to help people.

Motivation can't take you very far if you don't have the legs.
Lance Armstrong

No one automatically gives you respect just because you show up. You have to earn it

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

I guess if a person never quit when the going got tough, they wouldn't have anything to regret for the rest of their life.
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
Image
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.

Average is Your Enemy.

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.
