Non-Fiction Biography
From award-winning journalist David Walsh, the definitive
account of the author’s twelve-year quest to uncover and
make known the truth about Lance Armstrong’s long history of
performance-enhancing drug use, which ultimately led to the
cyclist’s being stripped of his seven Tour de France
titles. The story of Lance Armstrong—the cyclist who
recovered from testicular cancer and went on to win the Tour
de France a record seven times, the man who wrote a
bestselling and inspirational account of his life, the
charitable benefactor—seemed almost too good to be true. And
it was. As early as Armstrong’s first victory
on the Tour in 1999, The Sunday Times (London)
journalist David Walsh had reason to think that the
incredible performances we were seeing from Armstrong were
literally too good to be true. Based on insider information
and dogged research, he began to unmask the truth. Cycling’s
biggest star used every weapon in his armory to protect his
name. But he could not keep everyone
silent. In the autumn of 2012, the US
Anti-Doping Agency published a damning report on Armstrong
that resulted in the American being stripped of his seven
Tour victories and left his reputation in shreds. Walsh’s
long fight to reveal the truth had been vindicated. This
book tells the compelling story of one man’s struggle to
bring that truth to light against all the odds.
