I'm Not Trying To Justify

You Know, Once I Was Thinking Of Quitting When I Was Diagnosed With Brain, Lung And Testicular Cancer All At The Same Time. But With The Love And Support Of My Friends And Family, I Got Back On The Bike And Won The Tour De France Five Times In A Row. But I'm Sure You Have A Good Reason To Quit.

At This Point Of My Life, I'm Not Out To Protect Anybody. I'm Out To Protect Seven People, And They All Have The Last Name Armstrong.

I Have Never Doped … I Have Competed As An Endurance Athlete For 25 Years With No Spike In Performance, Passed More Than 500 Drug Tests And Never Failed One.

What Makes A Great Endurance Athlete Is The Ability To Absorb Potential Embarrassment, And To Suffer Without Complaint.

I Am Just Coming Into My Best Years. This Year I Did New Things; Stretching And Abdominal Work.
