The world needs heroes and Lance Armstrong was the ultimate sporting hero. Following a
grueling battle with cancer, Lance returned to his cycling career in 1999 more determined
than ever with his sights set firmly on winning the Tour de France.

With the help of the infamous Italian physician Michele Ferrari and team director Johan
Bruyneel, he developed the most sophisticated doping program in the history of the sport.
However, not everyone believed the fairytale…

Sunday Times journalist, David Walsh, at first charmed by Lance’s charisma and talent, soon
began to question whether the ‘world’s greatest athlete’ was ‘clean’. Walsh sought to unveil the truth, his ensuing battle with Armstrong risked his own career, ostracised him
from the cycling community and cost his paper, The Sunday Times, hundreds of thousands
in legal costs. But the indefatigable Walsh eventually uncovered the truth when a select
few prepared to talk came forward, exposing one of the greatest deceptions of our time.
