It means that he would likely have already been doping before he became the road race world champion at the age of 21, as he turned 22 less than a month after that victory. So, were we getting injections of vitamins and other things like that at an earlier age?
But they weren't illegal, so that… You know…". Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Come on," Armstrong said. I was always, 'Ooh — what do we have here? Nobody said, 'Don't ask; this is what you're getting. I educated myself on what was being given, and I chose to do it. With proper treatment and care, you may have a very good chance of beating the odds whatever the stage.

He stood on the edge, looking out at How do you prepare for death at 25, when your whole life has been based on a feeling of invincibility, of overcoming pain? For Armstrong, this is how: He acknowledged death, then he personalized the demon.
He stripped the disease of emotion, to force logic into spaces it might not fit. He identified ignorance as his biggest fear. He couldn't bear the thought of nodding stupidly at something he didn't understand. His mother moved in, and they got to work, staying up nights, searching the Internet. He read books on treatments and recovery rates. To him, knowledge meant you never had to face the enemy alone.
He met other patients in treatment groups and drew strength from the courage he saw in their faces. They were the faces he would turn to again and again in his mind, even as he felt their eyes turning toward him, as a plant turns toward light.
In time, the doctors discovered something the cycling world already knew: Armstrong's body was different, maybe one in a million. It withstood a torrent of platinum-based chemotherapy. They pumped it through him as if he'd sprung a leak, and it dissolved the lung tumors. Armstrong vomited for hours at a time, but he willed himself to get on his bike and ride.
He was bald, pale, sick. His legs were shrinking, the muscles in his powerful quads and calves deteriorated by inactivity. His lungs burned. One day, he took a light, minute ride from his home in Austin with a pro cyclist friend. Twenty minutes into it, Armstrong was off his bike -- exhausted, embarrassed, confused, lying on somebody's front lawn.
Cycling and cancer don't mix. Cycling and chemotherapy don't mix. A comeback would mark the end of reason and the beginning of something irrational, unprecedented and inspiring. But a cyclist's natural inclination is to push the limits, and so Lance Armstrong looked at the faces that looked back at him and dreamed of showing them what could be done.
The complete implausibility of Armstrong's life didn't start in a doctor's office in Austin, or in an operating room in Indiana, or lying prone on a stranger's lawn. No, the roots of this are deeper. Linda Walling was 17 years old when she dropped out of high school to give birth to him in Plano, Texas.
Walling worked, sometimes two jobs, and cared for her son as if he were sustenance. She raised him by a series of truisms: Make a positive out of a negative; always work hard and good things will happen; don't believe it when other people say you can't. She drove him from their home in Plano to swim meets, runs, triathlons and, finally, bicycle races.
He became a professional triathlete at the age of At each checkpoint Armstrong was told to continue alone. He told them, "I can't check my mom at the door. In the Tour de France, three days after teammate Fabio Casartelli died after a fall on a mountain descent, Armstrong vowed to win a stage race for his Italian friend.
As the support staff pulled up alongside to give him a status report on the riders behind him, Armstrong waved them off.
Armstrong rode the last few hundred meters with his hands off the bars, index fingers pointing to the heavens. Armstrong recalls the eerie experience: "There's no doubt there were four feet pushing those pedals that day.
Lance's whole life has been against all odds. He literally entered the world that way. Postal team members come forward acknowledging their own PED use and further implicating Armstrong. Postal Service team in February, with no charges filed.
In October, the USADA formally charges him with using, possessing and trafficking banned substances and recommends a lifetime ban. In choosing not to appeal the findings, Armstrong is stripped of all of his achievements from August onward, including his seven Tour de France titles. Armstrong still publicly denies the use of performance-enhancing drugs.
