Several journalists and former team mates of Armstrong claim that he has taken the blood booster called EPO, but there has been no sufficient evidence and the US federal investigation against him was dropped early this year.
Apparently, yes.
After several years of rumors, an examination eventually found him guilty of systematic doping and conspiracy to avoid detection. For this he was stripped of his titles and banned from future racing.
After a long time of denial, Armstrong eventually went public and admitted his guilt in an interview with Oprah Winfrey.
Yes, Lance Armstrong won a Bronze Medal at the 2000 Sydney Olympics in the Men's Individual Road Time Trial with a time of 58:14.
he hit a black man Don't listen to the first awnser. Lance showed bravery when he had cancer, and when he participated (and will participate 2009) in the Tour De France. You may wonder why being in a bike race shows bravery, but people easily get killed in that race.
Lance Armstrong changed our lives today because he helped raise so much money for the cancer awareness and made people believe that they can get through cancer and they can be strong.
Lance Armstrong won the Tour de France seven consecutive times, but his titles were stripped because he was doping.
His heart is stronger as well as being significantly larger. Per pump (stroke, beat), his trained heart can output a greater volume of blood than an untrained person (let's called the untrained person Joe Normal). So at rest, both Armstrong and Joe need to move the same volume of blood around per minute to keep everything oxygenated. Each beat of Armstrong's heart is going to move twice as much blood as a beat from Joe's. As a result, Armstrong's heart only needs to beat half as often to keep things oxygenated. How did this happen? Lots and lots of cardiovascular training. As the heart gets trained, it gets stronger and larger - it is a muscle, just like your biceps grow after multiple bicep curls in the gym. When Lance is sprinting as fast as he can, his heart is not pumping much more often than when a non-athlete is sprinting - but it's pumping out more blood per beat so he can go further and faster since his muscles can remain better oxygenation, produce less lactic acid and take longer to fatigue.
American cancer survivor Lance Armstrong set a record when he won 7 Tour de France, from 1999-2005.
He has now been stripped of his titles and the record, due to the compelling evidence and his eventual confession to the systematic use of illegal performance enhancing drugs.
Even though Lance Armstrong's career was nearly tarnished, he still remains on his bicycle to this day. He is not a retired man, and he is respected all over the world.
The LiveStrong foundation was founded by Lance Armstrong in order to provide support and resources for individuals affected by cancer. It is also a trademark of the Lance Armstrong foundation.
Lance started riding the Tour in -93, and kept it up until -96 without winning the overall race.
He was out of competition due to cancer from -96 to -99.
He won the Tour de France seven times, between 1999 and 2005 when he had a go at retirement.
Apparently he tired of that and rejoined the tour for the 2009-2010, when de did well for "an old man", but didn't win.
He has ridden a total of 13 Tours de France, and has subsequently been stripped of his titles due to his use of unallowed performance enchancing drugs.
Lance Armstrong enjoys wearing athletic clothing such as Spandex. He often wears this clothing in order to compete efficiently in his sport.

No, not as far as anyone can tell. Louis never showed much aptitude for bicycling and Lance has so far avoided learning to play wind instruments. Lance is also not related to Neil Armstrong.
In the early years, he was trained in Europe. Armstrong lived and trained in Nice on the French Riviera (also known as "Côte d'Azur" of France.
Later, when he was fed up with the French attitude towards him and with a need to be with family in the United States, he moved back to Austin, Texas. He also held spring training camps in LA in the Sierras, and Austin, Texas.
Now, he fully resides in the United States.
Also, every year, he does a recon of the Tour de France stages (important ones for the GC) in April/May (climbing stages and Time Trials) with 1 week in the Alps 1 in Pyrenees.
