From Academy Award® nominated director Stephen Frears (The Queen, Philomena) and producers Working Title (The Theory Of Everything, Everest, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy), comes the true story of the meteoric rise and fall of one of the most celebrated and controversial men in recent history, Lance Armstrong.
Based on the award winning book “Seven Deadly Sins” by David Walsh, and featuring a stellar cast including Ben Foster, Chris O’Dowd, Guillaume Canet (Tell No One) and Jesse Plemons (Breaking Bad), this tense and suspenseful thriller looks at how one of the greatest deceptions in the modern era was uncovered while Armstrong convinced the world he was a hero, winning the Tour de France seven times.

It's sad that people forget that people's lives were ruined because Lance was ruthless in protecting his secret. Was the sport dirty? Yes, but people forget that Lance's abuse of power is what made him notorious.

The last great TDF rider to win clean in the 1990s was Greg Lemond. Even at his best his average power output was 410. In comparison, Froome was 414. All the other winners in the 1990s up to 2006 were tainted with power output as high as Riis 479 and Indurain 450 who were regarded as mutants. Post EPO Armstrong 438, Contador 435, maybe not mutants but still ridiculously high.

@Charles Gosnell Lance Asteriskstrong tested positive twice (cortisone in 1999, EPO in 2001), and when USADA applied his old samples to new tests, over 80% were positive. Lemond also had a VO2 max of 93. The 78 of Asteriskstrong barely got him through a three hour marathon when someone with his accomplishments, if he was clean, could have easily gone under 2:20. Going after Lemond is typical whataboutism.

This was good journalism. I liked it when he said "This one thing we now have to hold onto is our skepticism." When you see someone who was performing a certain way in his field and then later on speeds up to the top of that field and stays consistently there, you first give some congrats and support at that first and second achievement. But when the pattern starts to show a consistency where a consistency really shouldn't be found, then hang on to your skepticism. Barry Bonds and Mark McGwire come to mind. Lance Armstrong is a narcissist and they'll do whatever it takes to be successful and not to ever be proven wrong. Success draws attention and scrutinization and rightfully so. Skepticism is good until the facts prove otherwise or gives us the true narrative of the event. Good journalism. Thanks for this post.

Lance was the BEST TDF rider in history, EVER, bar none. His arrogance and inability to tell the truth was his downfall. The cycling world needed someone (An arrogant American) to have as a scapegoat. Every single motherfucker racing in that sport was on EPO, low dose roids for faster injury healing, blood doping and that's the fat stinking truth. Lance will forever be remembered as a cheater but in reality everyone else at his level was doing basically the same thing. Lance really was just that good. One of the best, if not the best TDF cyclist ever.

Eddie Merckx was Busted twice for dope. Out of the 7 TDF wins by LA, 19 of the 21 podiums were busted for dope. I used to buy my cycling gear from an ex-tour pro he told me in his days as a pro they didn't check. I asked what his HTC was ...57 was his answer. That was when several Dutch riders died of heart attack from too thick blood, if you became dehydrated with that high of HTC you were in big trouble. What drives me crazy is the other sports, MLB, NFL, College, and even HS sports are given a pass. I'd guess 2/3 of the league(s) would be gone if they checked everyone.

I've said elsewhere but Moser had to admit doping before he was exposed and still didn't get punished, Hinault well, a piss take as he refused to test, Indurain could beat the little coulmbians up the mountains but blast evryone on the ITTs.

He got guys kicked out of the sport and ruin people’s lives and families to protect himself. Lance even used to get the UCI to warn people to slow down and stop challenging him or the UCI would test them more until they got the failed test and could suspend the guy.

If you cant make the sport clean, you cant complain after the fact. The Olympics where Soviet Union and other countries were wide spread doping and winning. Bodybuilding, boxing, etc... get real. And we single out cycling? What a unfair and farce attitude against cycling.

The fastest guy on EPO is not the same as the fastest guy clean. It is NOT TRUE that if everyone dopes, and no one dopes...the same guy will win. For example. Miguel Indurain. Here are is Tour Results. Pre EPO DNF DNF 96th 74th 17th 10th After EPO 1st 1st 1st 1st 1st 11th Indurain had really large lungs...but his natural physiology could not take advantage of them. If everyone is clean..he never EVER wins a TOUR. With EPO...he wins 5...even though everyone else was also on EPO. It warps the results in an un-natural way Every tour prior to EPO Indurain got dropped by 10-20 minutes (!!) on the Ale D'Huez stage! 10-20 minutes. Every single time from 1985-1990. In the first Tour d'EPO (1991). He finished 1 SECOND behind the winner! He was not the only one doping. All the fast guys were. But the dope helped him WAY MORE. So it is all fake BS.

When you apply this to cycling, it was the governing bodies of the sport, and all the corporate sponsors, who deliberately looked away while all the riders were doping because it was financially in their best interest to do so. As long as the money was rolling in they had no interest in doing anything to rock the boat. It was only when their hand was forced that they bothered to do their jobs. When you create a regulatory entity to regulate a given market or sport, and then make it a point to not actually regulate, you give a green light to bad actors that essentially encourages them to cheat.

What you can also see is that the teams have all converted to close teamwork with heavy support of the team leader. This makes a far more supporting team for the leader. Lemons had one man supporting him in his first win. This close support idea came from Lance.

THAT -combined with the fact that his REAL problem was that he was greedy . If he had left the sport with a record breaking 6 wins his EPO story would never have seen he light of day. But NO .

Taking down Amstrong and making him a scapegoat, is the best way for the others to carry one doping. The problem with this journalist is that he wants to take down Amstrong because he was immensely successful, but he doesn't want to end the doping system that is institutionalized. This journalist is not against doping, he is against success. That is a total hypocrite. The reason why Armstrong was successful wasn't only doping. He had incredible capacities (organization, focus, physical abilities, the skills to gather the best ones around him, etc.), which other cyclists completely miss. Doping is just a part of his success not all. Many good cyclists in the peloton would not even have the capability to compete on the tour de France without doping.

Lance is the champion doper. Not a champion cyclist. Not everyone responds the same to dope. The best example is Miguel Indurain. He had really large lungs. He was also a really big guy.

But because of his crazy huge lungs, he responded to EPO way more than anyone else, to the point that he could climb at top speed...despite being 30# heavier than any other fast climber. He was not the best cyclist. He was not the best climber. He was the best RESPONDER to dope! EPO gave him way more of an advantage than anyone else. So when you allow drugs, your winners are no longer the best athletes...they are the ones who respond to dope the best. Not the same thing at all. This is why everything should be done to stamp it out.

Indurain was an extremely good calculator of any major tour he rode in. He didnt go out there and win all the mountain finishes. He would suffer enormously to keep in contact. Enough to make up time lost in the time trials. He never bounced off up the mountains like Armstrong and drop all the climbers and win mountain stages. He suffered.

There has been scepticism with Froome, thats why he released his race data. Its a lot more difficult now to get away with taking drugs in sport.

@@villy27 You don't think a deal was struck between the UCI and WADA to enable Froome to race the TDf on the proviso he didn't win and thus handing Thomas the yellow jersey? There was no way the UCI or TDF could withstand another cyclist who was under an investigative doping cloud winning the 2018 race. Without a doubt (imho) a deal was struck behind the scenes to enable Froome to race and not win thereby diverting attention away from his alleged doping infringements. I'll bet my left nut that Thomas does not win this year and it will be Froome back in yellow. Unfortunately.

@wudipest
@wudipest 3 года назад
it was to dilute the haematocrit count to less than 50%. at that time, there was no way to directly test for EPO, so the rules were that if your haematocrit was > 50%, you cannot race (for safety reasons - risks of clots, strokes). the authorities knew they were all on EPO but could never prove it. hope that makes sense

Much of what this man is saying is misleading, or totally wrong. We never saw any rider train by riding the full course all around France, before, as Lance did. We never saw such advanced bike tech, as his team had. No one ever used such a scientific training program before as him and his coaches worked out. Few if any had done training at high altitude, which we all know (esp. those who like me have lived in Boulder Colorado) builds up a person's blood to higher levels than any other way of training. He trained harder and smarter, he had better funded bike development, he was a bigger and stronger rider than ever seen, just from physical measurements, wattage output, and stats really; and yes he did a small amount of blood booster in the off season, far less than many others did.

Swell. Just tell your story so you can justify whatever kind of scam you're doing. Cheating is cheating. NO -he did'nt do a "small amount of blood boosting" . He and his crew took a regular and sustained level of EPO throughout the entire racing season. Go sell bullshit somewhere else.

The reason is it is not a good idea to let everyone on the staff know team tactics, (which to be fair could include doping) as the staff member could give or even just let slip that information to a rival team.
