Sobre este filme

Lance Armstrong was considered one of the greatest sports figures of all time and put competitive cycling into the global spotlight, by beating cancer and winning the Tour de France seven times. That success earned him an immense fortune and worldwide fame. His was also one of the most influential and inspiring sports stories of recent memory and became a pop culture phenomenon, thanks to his Livestrong initiative. Beginning in 2009, Academy Award winning documentarian Alex Gibney followed Armstrong for four years chronicling his return to cycling after retirement, as he tried to win his eighth title. Unexpectedly, Gibney was also there in 2012 when Armstrong admitted to doping, following a federal criminal investigation, public accusations of doping by his ex-teammates, and an investigation by the US Anti-Doping Agency, that led USADA's CEO, Travis Tygart, to conclude that Armstrong's team had run 'the most sophisticated, professionalized and successful doping program that sport has ever seen.

Drugs in sports well it made a complete mockery of the cycling community with the cheating lies and cover ups. Worth the watch killed a little time on the plane.

Fuk the system they destroyed alot of lives by doing what they did to him he was a big asset to the community and the kids. I'll take my hat off for Armstrong all day long

Dukes Ace - you're an idiot! This was a good watch. Although, you need to ask yourself how much truth was told by Armstrong.
