Lance Armstrong Biography

Lance Armstrong is a name known worldwide for his accomplishments in cycling and his work for cancer research.  Armstrong was a seven-time winner of the Tour de France, dominating the event from 1999-2005.  He originally became a pro cyclist in 1992 after starting out his athlete career in triathlon.  Armstrong scored several significant victories before being diagnosed with testicular cancer in 1996.  He returned better than ever and became a symbol for cancer survivors and patients everywhere.  Through the Lance Armstrong Foundation, Armstrong became one of the most noted philanthropists from the world of sports ever.  The charity is now known at the Livestrong Foundation.  The iconic symbol of their efforts is the yellow Livestrong bracelet.  It was started as a fundraising item in 2004 and over 80 million of them have been sold since.  While Armstrong was embroiled in a doping scandal that eventually led to his Tour de France titles being stripped, he is now an outspoken voice against the use of performance-enhancing drugs in youth sports and elsewhere.
