Lance Edward Armstrong is an American former professional road racing cyclist. He is best known for winning the Tour de France seven times consecutively, from 1999 to 2005, after having survived testicular cancer.

Armstrong was born on September 18, 1971, in Plano, Texas. He was raised by his mother, Linda Walling, and his stepfather, Terry Keith Armstrong. His biological father, Eddie Gunderson, left the family when Lance was two.

Lance started racing at the age of 12 and won the Texas state championship in 1989. He turned professional in 1992 and joined the Motorola Cycling team. He won the Tour de France in 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, and 2005.

In 1996, Armstrong was diagnosed with testicular cancer that had spread to his brain and lungs. He underwent surgery and chemotherapy and was declared cancer-free in February 1997.

In August 2012, Armstrong was banned from cycling for life and stripped of his seven Tour de France titles after the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) found him guilty of using performance-enhancing drugs.

Quotes

#	Quote
1	[referring to the day blood tests finally showed he had in used performance enhancing drugs and lost all his sponsorship deals with companies, including Nike] that was a $75 million day
2	[January, 2013] I view this situation as one big lie that I repeated a lot of times.
3	[2005: when asked, under oath, if his sponsorships would be lost if doping allegations were true] All of them, and the faith of all the cancer survivors around the world. So everything I do off of the bike would go away too. And don't think for a second I don't understand that. It's not about money for me. Everything. It's also about the faith that people have put in me over the years. So all of that would be erased. So I don't need it to say in a contract you're fired if you test positive. That's not as important as losing the support of hundreds of millions of people.
4	[2012] Nobody needs to cry for me. I'm going to be great.
