Lance Armstrong amazed many people around the world with his abilities and 'natural' talent in bicycling. He started off winning small races and worked his way up through training to win the biggest cycling race in the world; the Tour de' France. Not only did he win this event once, but seven times.
Three of Armstrong's former team mates admitted having used the drug EPO, an energy booster that forms more red blood cells in the body, testosterone, and a blood transfusion. They have stated that Armstrong did the steroids with them before races.
Armstrong denies ever having used any substances, claiming he has never failed any of the hundreds of drug tests given to him. It has been stated by Tyler Hammilton, one of Armstrong's team mates, that he did fail one in 2001 right before the Tour de Swiss.
Armstrong's well-loved stories, and legend are still in fan's thoughts, and most hope for the investigation to come out negative.
