Overview

He was the greatest comeback story in the history of sport-until he became its most infamous cautionary tale. Lance Armstrong: Triumph and Betrayal is a gripping, meticulously researched account of the rise, fall, and reckoning of a man who inspired millions, deceived a generation, and forced an entire sport to confront its darkest truths. This book traces Armstrong's journey from a BMX-riding Texas kid raised by a single mother to his transformation into a global icon-a cancer survivor who conquered the Tour de France seven times, only to see every title stripped away. Drawing from decades of coverage, testimony, and Armstrong's own words, the narrative explores the depths of the doping conspiracy, the destruction left in his wake, and the long road toward self-reckoning. With no speculation and no sensationalism, this is the definitive portrait of a legacy still debated: a story of extreme willpower, systemic failure, and the enduring question of whether greatness achieved through deception can ever be separated from the damage it leaves behind.
