After a decade of furious denials — and lawsuits against his accusers — this seven-time champion in yellow finally confessed everything on daytime television in 2013.
The full story
Lance Armstrong was stripped of his seven Tour de France titles after the 2012 USADA report and confessed to systematic doping in a January 2013 Oprah interview. In 2018 he paid $5 million to settle the federal whistleblower case tied to his Postal Service team sponsorship.
