Lance Armstrong - Seven Deadly Sins

Product Description

When Lance Armstrong fought back from life-threatening cancer to win the 1999 Tour de France
- the so-called " Tour of Renewal";
- it seemed almost too good to be true. It was. Sunday Times journalist David Walsh was one of a small group who was prepared to raise awkward questions about Armstrong's seemingly superhuman feats. & so began a 13-year battle to reveal the truth that finally ended in October 2012 when the cyclist was stripped of his seven Tour victories & banned from the sport for life. Walsh's gripping & moving personal account of his struggles is a revealing insight into the murkier end of professional cycling
- a place where having the right doctor can make all the difference & where there existed a conspiracy of silence. As he shows, it never was about the bike. However, spurred on by a few brave people who were prepared to speak out in the hope of saving the sport they loved, Walsh continued to probe, & eventually he was vindicated when Armstrong's reputation was ruined. In this updated edition, covering Armstrong's confession to Oprah, Seven Deadly Sins takes the reader into a world of doping & lies, but shows that there is always hope for a better future.
