Lance Armstrong career

After overcoming testicular cancer, Armstrong rose to fame by winning the Tour de France seven times in a row from 1999 to 2005.

After an investigation revealed that he had taken performance-enhancing drugs throughout his career, he was later stripped of all of his titles.

Armstrong started competing in triathlons at the age of 16, and he won the national sprint-course triathlon title in 1989 and 1990. He started his professional cycling career in 1992 with the Motorola team.

Between 1993 and 1996, he was successful, winning the World Championship in 1993, the Clásica de San Sebastián in 1995, the Tour DuPont in 1995, and a few European stage victories, including stages 8 and 18 of the Tour de France in 1993 and 1995, respectively.

He received a 1996 diagnosis of metastatic testicular cancer, which might be fatal. In order to help other cancer survivors, he established the Lance Armstrong Foundation, which is now known as the Livestrong Foundation.

Armstrong made a comeback to cycling in 1998, and from that year until 2005, he competed for the US Postal/Discovery team, where he won seven Tour de France championships.

After the 2005 Tour de France, Armstrong announced his retirement from competitive cycling. However, he later made a comeback with the Astana team and placed third in the 2009 Tour de France.

He competed with Team Radio Shack from 2010 to 2011, at which point he announced his second retirement. After winning the 1999 Tour de France, Armstrong was accused of doping.

He denied doping involvement for many years. Armstrong was identified as the head of “the most sophisticated, professionalized, and successful doping program that sport has ever seen” in 2012 after a United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) investigation found that he had used performance-enhancing chemicals throughout his career.

Armstrong, who insisted he was innocent, decided not to fight the accusations because of what it may do for his family.

His career as a competitive cyclist came to an end when he was given a lifetime ban from all sports that adhere to the World Anti-Doping Code.

His stripped victories would not be given to other cyclists, according to the International Cycling Union (UCI), which upheld USADA’s decision.

Armstrong formally acknowledged his doping involvement in January 2013. After whistleblower proceedings were started by Floyd Landis, a former team member, Armstrong settled a civil action with the US Department of Justice in April 2018 and agreed to pay the US government $5 million.
