Back in year 2000 he came up with his biographical book - It’s
Not About The Bike: My Journey Back to Life.
In 1996 he was diagnosed with testicular cancer, which was later spread to his lungs, abdomen and brain. Doctors then had given a little chance of his survival and yet he went on to be a living role model for hundreds of thousands…
The autobiographical book talks lot about his grit, determination, fighting spirit, it was / still is a must read book for the people from all walks of life.
Yet today one wonders is the title in itself a paradigm shift?
It’s not about the bike… then was it all about Doping!
USADA came with evidence showing Armstrong was involved in doping and banned him from cycling for life. Further they ordered to erase all his titles including the record breaking – Tour de France titles.
In the day of adversity, YOU HAVE SHOWN MANY "A RAY OF HOPE"!!! Lance Armstrong...

His old teammates, close friends turned foe. Many of whom came out
against him with doping charges and finally when it mattered Armstrong refused
to fight against US Anti-Doping Agency through arbitrator.

But here is one Question
@ That level doping; drug intake to enhance the performance is
rampant, done by most of the Athletes. Just those who are caught are accused
for the REST "INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY!"
How does it matter for common mortals?
If not the king of race, you still remain one of
the greats who also took enormous efforts to help Cancer patients. In the day of adversity, YOU HAVE SHOWN MANY "A RAY OF HOPE"!!! Lance Armstrong...
