I followed this back then. Some raised concerns and Lance's defiant rebuttals even had me doubting.Especially when Floyd Landis got caught. And spoke out. Real good program.

what a great find! i had been a fan of the tour de france largely due to lance armstrong, but as the whole thing unravelled i kinda stopped paying attention, and so i had never heard how it all came out in the end. Amongst all the little details that i learned from this amazing doc, I was most struck by the Armstrong/Lemond feud. I bought a Trek/Lemond bike in 2003 and to this day had never realized why the Lemond brand name had later disappeared from the marketplace. My bike has had moderate use over the years (i've gone through just two sets of tires) but I never rode in the rain or allowed the paint to get dinged and today it's still in mint condition. after watching this doc I'm just really glad all over again that I have it.

On one side there is cheating, on the other side there is the way how you treat people. Cheating is understandable, but by the way Mr Armstrong was attacking people, who he knew were honest, he put a heavy burden on his soul. I wish him all the best on his path to clear his heart.

I miss the feeling of superiority and smugness I used to have before I grew up and entered the work force. If the U.S. is and empire it’s the most benevolent in history. So how did this American hedgemony occur? It came because the actual empires destroyed each other in 2 world wars. America was the only industrialized power left that wasn’t a Communist state, which was actually taking over territory and bending other countries to their will. Does America get no credit for basically being dragged into both those wars and deciding the outcome for the better? Of course not. Imagine the world tomorrow if the US ceased to exist. And while you ponder on these things from your safe home with internet access maybe ask yourself what would happen if you said that in China or Russia.

Lance : mont venteux,col de galibier,hautcam etc.. He is the mountain Lion 🦁

He was the best cheater among cheaters. Everyone is a cheating lying thief

Interesting that performance has NOT dropped with more testing.

Isn't it strange that Tyler tested positive for blooddoping with someone elses blood which he claims to have never done and Floyd for testosterone which he claims not to have used before the Morzine stage. A testosterone ratio of 11:1 would mean that he probably fell asleep with the patch on and only realized it the following morning. An unlikely mistake. I mean they confessed everything but ultimately got caught for things they still deny. I wonder wether Lance was involved there. In Tylers case to get rid of a dangerous rival in 2005 and in Floyds case because he didn't wanted him to follow in his footsteps. I'm sure he would have had the connections within the UCI.

Did any of the other doping riders personally sue Mr Walsh and the Irish times?

So I have never been into biking or Tour de France nor have I even watched a race before I seen the movie the Armstrong Lie. I have watched so many documentaries on everything Lance Armstrong related mostly because I fall asleep to documentaries. What I want to say about this documentary and all of the scrutiny about Lance Armstrong are these things. First and foremost , I saw Betsie Andreu crying about “he owes the truth to the sport.” I think that is absolute bull she knew for a long time he was doping according to her, hearing it from doctors, but she never spoke out about it until her husband was cut from the team. According to her he was cut because he refused to dope. Whining & whining every singe deposition and interview. It’s apparent that he quit doping because he didn’t want his marriage to end , as she threatened. I think number one Frankie Andreu was whipped beyond belief and number two he would still be doping if it wasn’t for his wife , And number three in a documentary George Hincapie said point blank ,he learned doping from Frankie Andreu. So that is just two faced. There a tremendous amount of jealousy in play here. People loved Lance Armstrong because he got cancer and beat it , then opened up a cancer foundation. Then raced and won. Doping along with everyone else. David Walsh got a lot of money writing about Lance Armstrong. As my sister says “no one does nothing for nothing! “ So he is getting rich off his book and this story what about that? Then you have Tyler Hamilton saying he lost faith in the justice system. I seen a documentary when David Walsh said Tyler quit the team and went after a doping doctor , so he could win himself then he admitted that it was hard to set it up and have it be as easy as it was for the US postal team. (So two faced. ) He was just pissed Lance was smarter , because Now you see him giving speeches about his experience. I’m not sure ,but I’ll bet he wrote a book. (Kettle black situation there. ) Probably gets money to speak. When you read the history of this race ,it’s such a hard physical race that people Drank alcohol and took substances just to get through it and everyone knew. They’re all a bunch of hypocrites! Then let’s talk about Floyd Landis he dopes on the postal team and then dopes on his own team wins the race then gets caught for doping and gets mad and basically snitches on everyone. What a baby ! Everyone doped ! Get over it. I think Lance doped of course he did. So what !! everyone else did too ,but he was smarter and better at it ! everyone else got caught Lance was just more clever. It just seems like they all got jealous because he over came cancer and became a hero for that and winning. Everyone else was doing the same damned thing , but they got caught and they didn’t survive cancer. So he got popular and rich and everyone around him got jealous or made money off of his story except George Hincapie he was a teammate and doped too , but didn’t go around acting like he was an angel and crying when he got caught and blaming Lance. I’ll bet money that Frank and Betsie Andreu and Floyd Landis ,Tyler Hamilton got paid for the appearances they gave on shows and documentaries and David Walsh , they all made a fortune off the back of Lance Armstrong and his story. Like I said no one does nothing for nothing ! Hypocrites all of them.
