Seven Deadly Sins My Pursuit Of Lance Armstrong

Product Description

The story of Lance Armstrong, the cyclist who had recovered from testicular cancer & gone on to win the Tour de France a record seven times, the man who had written a bestselling & inspirational account of his life, the charitable benefactor seemed almost too good to be true. & it was. As early as Armstrong's first victory on the Tour in 1999, Sunday Times journalist David Walsh had reason to doubt that the incredible performances we were seeing from Armstrong were literally too good to be true. Based on insider information & dogged research, he began to unmask the truth. Faced with the allegations against him, Armstrong always denied everything & even resorted to legal action to defend his reputation. But he could not keep everyone silent. In the autumn of 2012, the USADA published a damning report on Armstrong that resulted in the American being stripped of his seven Tour victories & left his reputation in shreds. Walsh's long fight to reveal the truth had been vindicated. This book is the compelling story of Armstrong's tragic fall from grace.
