00:01:41,059 --> 00:01:44,563
<i>It's the hardest
sporting event in the world.</i>

3
00:01:50,027 --> 00:01:53,622
<i>One hundred and eighty riders,
20 stages,</i>

4
00:01:53,697 --> 00:01:57,372
<i>and only one gets to wear
the Yellow Jersey.</i>

5
00:01:59,870 --> 00:02:01,668
<i>This is the dream.</i>

6
00:02:08,879 --> 00:02:11,974
<i>To be on the team. To compete
with the best of the best in the world.</i>

7
00:02:12,049 --> 00:02:16,805
<i>Now, when I'm out there physically,
I'm not more gifted than anybody else.</i>

8
00:02:16,887 --> 00:02:19,731
<i>It's just this... desire...</i>

9
00:02:19,806 --> 00:02:21,900
<i>this hunger.</i>

10
00:02:24,603 --> 00:02:28,028
<i>My mam didn't raise a quitter
and I would never quit.</i>

11
00:02:39,368 --> 00:02:41,996
<i>And that's heart, man,
that's not physical.</i>

12
00:02:44,956 --> 00:02:46,082
<i>It's not legs.</i>

13
00:02:47,876 --> 00:02:52,097
<i>It's not lungs. That's heart.</i>

14
00:02:52,172 --> 00:02:53,845
<i>That's soul.</i>

15
00:02:53,924 --> 00:02:55,972
<i>That's just guts.</i>

16
00:02:56,051 --> 00:02:59,521
<i>That was
a disaster on the line there.</i>

17
00:03:08,647 --> 00:03:11,947
<i>The most incredible
sporting event in the world</i>

18
00:03:12,025 --> 00:03:14,027
<i>at any time.</i>

19
00:03:14,111 --> 00:03:17,615
Oh! Now you just gotta want
my autograph.

20
00:03:17,698 --> 00:03:19,700
<i>Maybe</i> I <i>do.</i>

21
00:03:19,783 --> 00:03:22,912
So, it's your first Tour.
You're 21 years old.

22
00:03:22,994 --> 00:03:24,962
You're the youngest rider in the race.

23
00:03:25,038 --> 00:03:27,587
- What are you hoping to accomplish?
- I wanna finish.

24
00:03:27,666 --> 00:03:30,545
A stage win or two.
That would be awesome.

25
00:03:31,920 --> 00:03:35,595
A lot of the riders,
they describe the Tour as a journey,

26
00:03:35,674 --> 00:03:39,349
an odyssey into pain
and suffering and endurance,

27
00:03:39,428 --> 00:03:43,604
an almost religious experience.

28
00:03:43,682 --> 00:03:48,233
Eventually you arrive at a point
of enhanced self-awareness.

29
00:03:48,311 --> 00:03:50,985
And I was wondering,
do you think about that?

30
00:03:52,232 --> 00:03:54,701
Well, I just love to ride my bike.

31
00:03:57,237 --> 00:04:00,741
<i>Aw, shoot.</i>

32
00:04:07,038 --> 00:04:10,292
- Oh, no, really?
- Oh, yeah.

33
00:04:11,418 --> 00:04:13,796
- I was...
- We had a bet.

34
00:04:15,046 --> 00:04:18,425
- I was joking.
- I beat you fair and square.

35
00:04:18,550 --> 00:04:21,269
- Shave the beard.
- Absolutely not.

36
00:04:24,306 --> 00:04:26,354
I had my interview with Armstrong today.

37
00:04:26,433 --> 00:04:31,030
Interesting guy.
I mean, not lacking in confidence.

38
00:04:31,062 --> 00:04:34,066
But it was good. I liked him.

39
00:04:34,149 --> 00:04:37,824
- Is he a contender, you reckon?
- No.

40
00:04:37,861 --> 00:04:40,910
Really good day racer, though.
Really good. Strong legs.

41
00:04:40,989 --> 00:04:43,993
He's built for a one-day event,
not a three-week tour.

42
00:04:51,875 --> 00:04:55,800
Hey, you're the American.
Lance, right?

43
00:04:55,879 --> 00:04:59,679
You're supposed to be good. You
won all those races in America, right?

44
00:04:59,758 --> 00:05:03,888
<i>Big shot, yeah.</i>

45
00:05:03,970 --> 00:05:05,972
But you don't win here.

46
00:05:06,056 --> 00:05:07,808
<i>No'?</i>

47
00:05:14,105 --> 00:05:16,608
See that guy over there?

48
00:05:16,691 --> 00:05:19,444
That guy. And probably that guy.

49
00:05:19,569 --> 00:05:23,870
They've got more red cells
in their blood, more oxygen.

50
00:05:23,949 --> 00:05:25,451
You can't win.

51
00:05:26,451 --> 00:05:28,294
<i>Trois, deux, un!</i>

52
00:05:32,707 --> 00:05:33,754
Go, fucking go!

53
00:05:35,335 --> 00:05:36,552
Go, go, go!

54
00:06:33,935 --> 00:06:36,233
So what you wanna do?

55
00:06:45,864 --> 00:06:47,866
I'm not doping.

56
00:06:48,950 --> 00:06:51,794
Lance, it's a big step to take.

57
00:06:51,870 --> 00:06:55,875
I know, but first, second, third place,
same team, that's not normal.

58
00:06:58,043 --> 00:07:00,262
The top three places
for one team

59
00:07:00,337 --> 00:07:02,760
is a remarkable achievement
in this race.

60
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:05,888
How would you characterize
your contribution to the success

61
00:07:05,967 --> 00:07:08,220
- of the team today?
- As a doctor,

62
00:07:08,261 --> 00:07:13,267
I believe I bring an expertise
in physical conditioning.

63
00:07:13,350 --> 00:07:15,193
Do your riders use Epo?

64
00:07:16,561 --> 00:07:20,236
If a rider does use Epo,

65
00:07:20,315 --> 00:07:22,067
doesn't scandalize me.

66
00:07:22,150 --> 00:07:25,950
One can buy Epo in Switzerland,

67
00:07:26,029 --> 00:07:28,123
for example, without a prescription.

68
00:07:28,198 --> 00:07:29,541
But Epo is dangerous.

69
00:07:29,616 --> 00:07:34,087
Epo is not dangerous.
It's abuse that is.

70
00:08:01,439 --> 00:08:04,158
- Dr Ferrari?
- Si.

71
00:08:04,234 --> 00:08:05,827
I'm Lance...

72
00:08:05,860 --> 00:08:08,454
- "Armstrong."
- I know who you are.

73
00:08:09,948 --> 00:08:12,292
I wanna be like one of your guys.

74
00:08:13,868 --> 00:08:15,870
I wanna be on
the program they're on.

75
00:08:15,954 --> 00:08:18,252
Program?

76
00:08:20,041 --> 00:08:23,511
You know what I'm talking about.
You just tell me what to do, I'll do it.

77
00:08:23,586 --> 00:08:25,054
I'll work hard.

78
00:08:28,258 --> 00:08:29,680
Come in.

79
00:08:32,053 --> 00:08:34,772
<i>Remove your shirt, please.</i>

80
00:08:38,643 --> 00:08:40,236
Your shirt, remove.

81
00:08:54,868 --> 00:08:58,623
- What?
- Your ratio is all wrong.

82
00:08:58,705 --> 00:09:02,585
- My ratio?
- Power to weight.

83
00:09:02,667 --> 00:09:06,092
Lots of power, but too much of this.

84
00:09:06,171 --> 00:09:09,095
- What are you talking about?
- Your shape, Lance.

85
00:09:09,174 --> 00:09:11,597
Is not best for the mountains.

86
00:09:11,676 --> 00:09:16,648
You can be a good racer, but never
a great one. I'm sorry. You know it.

87
00:09:17,682 --> 00:09:20,276
Scusi. I got some work to do.

88
00:09:30,570 --> 00:09:32,243
Come on, boys.

89
00:09:50,048 --> 00:09:52,050
<i>Un moment, s'il vous plait.</i>

90
00:10:03,895 --> 00:10:05,989
- What are you doing?
- It's under control.

91
00:10:06,022 --> 00:10:09,026
We're just making
everything look natural.

92
00:10:09,109 --> 00:10:11,612
I'm just looking
at the range of conditioners...

93
00:10:11,694 --> 00:10:13,367
Why? You got great hair.

94
00:10:13,446 --> 00:10:14,789
- Really?
- Shut the fuck...

95
00:10:14,864 --> 00:10:16,366
<i>- Bonjour.
- Bonjour.</i>

96
00:10:16,449 --> 00:10:18,201
Can I help you?

97
00:10:21,454 --> 00:10:24,003
<i>Hi. Can</i> I <i>have some...</i>

98
00:10:24,707 --> 00:10:26,960
- ..aspirin?
- Certainly.

99
00:10:27,043 --> 00:10:30,092
- Thanks. And a toothbrush.
- Just behind you.

100
00:10:31,047 --> 00:10:34,802
Right. And can I have some, erm...

101
00:10:34,884 --> 00:10:35,885
Some...

102
00:10:37,220 --> 00:10:39,814
- ..diapers.
- Sure. Which size?

103
00:10:39,889 --> 00:10:41,891
Erythropoietin?

104
00:10:41,975 --> 00:10:43,818
Epo?

105
00:10:43,893 --> 00:10:45,566
- Epogen?
- Yes.

106
00:10:45,645 --> 00:10:48,273
- That's what this man wants.
- OK.

107
00:10:48,356 --> 00:10:49,949
<i>- Bonsoir.
- Au revoir.</i>

108
00:10:50,024 --> 00:10:52,197
<i>- Merci.
- De rien.</i>

109
00:10:52,277 --> 00:10:53,824
<i>Au revoir.</i>

110
00:10:54,863 --> 00:10:59,039
- So, how much would you like?
- I don't really...

111
00:10:59,117 --> 00:11:00,164
A lot.

112
00:11:02,787 --> 00:11:04,960
<i>♪ They're piling in the back seat</i>

113
00:11:05,039 --> 00:11:07,963
<i>♪ They're generating steam heat</i>

114
00:11:08,042 --> 00:11:09,919
<i>♪ Pulsating to the back beat</i>

115
00:11:10,003 --> 00:11:12,051
<i>♪ The blitzkrieg bop</i>

116
00:11:13,882 --> 00:11:16,180
<i>♪ Hey ho, let's go</i>

117
00:11:16,259 --> 00:11:19,058
<i>♪ Shoot 'em in the back now</i>

118
00:11:19,137 --> 00:11:21,811
<i>♪ What they want, I don't know</i>

119
00:11:21,890 --> 00:11:24,860
<i>♪ They're all revved up and ready to go</i>

120
00:11:24,934 --> 00:11:27,107
- <i>♪ They're forming in a straight line.
- Yes!</i>

121
00:11:27,187 --> 00:11:29,815
<i>♪ They're going through a tight wind</i>

122
00:11:29,898 --> 00:11:33,027
I told you.
Didn't I tell you, though?

123
00:11:33,109 --> 00:11:36,534
Who said that Armstrong had the
potential to be a great one-day racer'?

124
00:11:36,613 --> 00:11:38,991
And you scoffed. Scoff no more.

125
00:11:39,073 --> 00:11:42,543
Very, very, very surprised. And pleased.

126
00:11:43,578 --> 00:11:46,206
Just so proud of the team
and how things worked out today.

127
00:12:31,793 --> 00:12:37,300
You know... aren't you supposed
to get a second opinion?

128
00:12:37,340 --> 00:12:40,719
- You can if you wish, but...
- Yeah.

129
00:12:40,802 --> 00:12:43,521
It's cancer, Lance.

130
00:12:43,596 --> 00:12:45,940
Testicular cancer.

131
00:12:46,015 --> 00:12:48,359
Stage three out of three.

132
00:12:48,434 --> 00:12:52,860
Now that we've got a diagnosis,
we can begin a treatment program.

133
00:12:52,939 --> 00:12:58,116
We'll start with an orchiectomy which
is removal of the affected testicle

134
00:12:58,194 --> 00:13:01,289
and then the insertion of a long-term
intravenous catheter

135
00:13:01,364 --> 00:13:05,790
through which we can deliver
four rounds of chemotherapy.

136
00:13:06,786 --> 00:13:11,542
And you know those cerebral metastases
that you have...

137
00:13:11,582 --> 00:13:15,587
Well, you'll require surgery
to have them removed.

138
00:13:50,788 --> 00:13:53,587
OK, some nice deep breaths
for me.

139
00:13:56,669 --> 00:13:59,297
Keep holding it there.

140
00:13:59,380 --> 00:14:02,759
Box shape paramedian flap
should give us enough access

141
00:14:02,842 --> 00:14:05,220
for a transcallosal approach.

142
00:14:07,889 --> 00:14:10,358
We'll need 0.5%...

143
00:14:28,201 --> 00:14:30,920
This is a really
punishing treatment.

144
00:14:30,995 --> 00:14:34,124
As of now you have essentially
no functioning white cells.

145
00:14:34,207 --> 00:14:37,302
Your platelet count is about zero.

146
00:14:37,377 --> 00:14:40,802
We're doing all we can with
the transfusions and the antibiotics.

147
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:43,133
I don't know who's gonna blink first,

148
00:14:43,216 --> 00:14:46,186
the tumour... or you.

149
00:14:59,607 --> 00:15:01,029
Mr Armstrong?

150
00:15:04,862 --> 00:15:08,708
- Would you like some help?
- There's been a mistake. I'm not...

151
00:15:08,783 --> 00:15:10,706
Think you ought to go back to the ward.

152
00:15:10,785 --> 00:15:12,708
I'm not supposed to be here.

153
00:15:12,787 --> 00:15:16,291
- Don't you want to go back?
- I'm a world champion.

154
00:15:16,374 --> 00:15:20,004
- Why don't we get a chair for you?
- I don't need a chair.

155
00:15:23,589 --> 00:15:25,808
Sit in the chair now, Lance.

156
00:15:28,594 --> 00:15:30,187
OK.

157
00:15:38,604 --> 00:15:39,981
Lance?

158
00:15:42,817 --> 00:15:43,818
Lance?

159
00:15:48,781 --> 00:15:50,704
You look good, kid.

160
00:15:50,783 --> 00:15:53,081
- Still breathing.
- What happened to your hair?

161
00:15:53,161 --> 00:15:55,880
I look like that guy from Star Trek.

162
00:15:55,955 --> 00:15:58,174
So when you getting back on the bike,
champ?

163
00:15:58,249 --> 00:16:00,877
When you bring me a bike.

164
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:03,634
- I wouldn't wanna break the rules.
- Excuse me.

165
00:16:03,713 --> 00:16:05,215
I was reviewing your records.

166
00:16:05,298 --> 00:16:08,017
Could I clarify a couple of issues
in your history?

167
00:16:08,092 --> 00:16:09,844
Hey, you sticking around?

168
00:16:10,928 --> 00:16:12,225
Yeah.

169
00:16:13,598 --> 00:16:16,351
In the past, you were
on no regular medication?

170
00:16:16,434 --> 00:16:19,278
- No.
- You ever use any other drugs?

171
00:16:19,353 --> 00:16:21,856
Any performance enhancing drugs?

172
00:16:21,939 --> 00:16:23,282
- What is this?
- What?

173
00:16:23,357 --> 00:16:25,530
- You heard it?
- Yes.

174
00:16:25,610 --> 00:16:27,237
And you knew about that?

175
00:16:28,988 --> 00:16:31,207
- Yes.
- And what about you?

176
00:16:40,708 --> 00:16:41,709
Betsy.

177
00:17:27,964 --> 00:17:31,594
Are we racing?
You got a lot of work to do, buddy.

178
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:58,623
I've done what you asked.

179
00:17:58,703 --> 00:18:02,253
My shape's changed.
Chemo diet really works.

180
00:18:07,378 --> 00:18:10,723
- What matters to you, Lance?
- Winning.

181
00:18:10,798 --> 00:18:12,220
Anything else?

182
00:18:13,009 --> 00:18:16,639
- I love my mom.
- More than winning?

183
00:18:18,180 --> 00:18:20,933
- What's your V02 max?
- 84.

184
00:18:21,017 --> 00:18:24,863
- What does that mean?
- It's my maximum oxygen consumption.

185
00:18:24,937 --> 00:18:30,319
Literally, yes. But what it really
means is that you were born to lose.

186
00:18:30,401 --> 00:18:33,280
When your compatriot, Greg LeMond,
won the Tour de France,

187
00:18:33,362 --> 00:18:36,115
his V02 max was 93.

188
00:18:36,198 --> 00:18:40,123
So in a straight race between you and
a man like him, you will always lose

189
00:18:40,202 --> 00:18:43,001
because he delivers more fuel than you.

190
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:46,129
And when you climb a mountain
on the wheels,

191
00:18:46,208 --> 00:18:48,711
you need fuel to generate power,
to lift the weight.

192
00:18:48,794 --> 00:18:51,422
- OK, well, I'll do whatever it takes.
- Good.

193
00:18:52,590 --> 00:18:57,141
The Professor and I, we had
an interest in sports, in physiology.

194
00:18:57,219 --> 00:18:59,142
How does an athlete improve?

195
00:18:59,180 --> 00:19:03,276
The simplest question of all,
but no one really knows the answer.

196
00:19:04,352 --> 00:19:06,104
So, we use science

197
00:19:06,187 --> 00:19:10,818
to stop this business of athletes
just training without logic.

198
00:19:10,900 --> 00:19:14,029
We do tests. We analyze the results.

199
00:19:14,111 --> 00:19:17,160
And then we do it all again.

200
00:19:17,239 --> 00:19:19,241
Increase the cadence.

201
00:19:19,325 --> 00:19:24,297
You see, this is not just running up
a hill in the hope of getting fitter.

202
00:19:24,372 --> 00:19:27,251
This is science, at last.

203
00:19:27,333 --> 00:19:30,303
So, some athletes get better,

204
00:19:30,378 --> 00:19:32,597
some of them much better,

205
00:19:32,672 --> 00:19:39,146
but after a while I thought that
we had exhausted the science,

206
00:19:39,220 --> 00:19:42,394
that there were no more great leaps
to be made.

207
00:19:42,515 --> 00:19:46,110
And then, I tell you, Lance...

208
00:19:46,185 --> 00:19:50,110
it was like a vision,
a heavenly vision.

209
00:19:50,189 --> 00:19:55,537
When God spoke to Paul.
That is how it felt to me.

210
00:19:55,611 --> 00:19:57,409
<i>Lacrima Christi.</i>

211
00:19:57,530 --> 00:20:01,535
<i>Kidneys produce
a substance called Erythropoietin</i>

212
00:20:01,617 --> 00:20:03,711
<i>which stimulates production
of red cells</i>

213
00:20:03,786 --> 00:20:07,916
which, in turn, make maximum use
of the available oxygen.

214
00:20:07,998 --> 00:20:09,625
Excuse me.

215
00:20:09,709 --> 00:20:14,135
Can I ask if any assessment has been
made of the effect of this drug

216
00:20:14,213 --> 00:20:17,092
on healthy individuals?

217
00:20:17,174 --> 00:20:19,393
Healthy individuals?

218
00:20:19,510 --> 00:20:21,558
Athletes, for example.

219
00:20:21,637 --> 00:20:24,937
No, I don't think it has.
Not that I'm aware of.

220
00:20:25,015 --> 00:20:29,521
Of course, if the drug were taken
in an unregulated fashion

221
00:20:29,603 --> 00:20:33,073
without adequate monitoring,
one can see a certain risk.

222
00:20:33,149 --> 00:20:35,652
But under more controlled circumstances

223
00:20:35,735 --> 00:20:40,912
there could be an increase in V02 max on
5 millilitres per kilogram per minute.

224
00:20:40,990 --> 00:20:44,836
That should equate to a corresponding
improvement in athletic performance.

225
00:20:44,910 --> 00:20:47,288
- Doctor...
- Yes.

226
00:20:47,371 --> 00:20:49,248
I think it would be unethical.

227
00:20:50,583 --> 00:20:52,506
Would it?

228
00:20:52,585 --> 00:20:57,967
No longer were we confined
to the limits of physiology.

229
00:20:58,048 --> 00:21:00,892
Now we could alter physiology.

230
00:21:01,802 --> 00:21:04,351
No longer confined to Earth...

231
00:21:05,347 --> 00:21:08,601
now we had learned to fly.

<i>The scandal has brought the Tour

00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:45,618
- Johan.
- Hey, Lance.

248
00:22:46,615 --> 00:22:48,288
Thanks for coming.

249
00:22:48,367 --> 00:22:49,869
Looking good.

250
00:22:50,995 --> 00:22:53,919
Yeah, you as well.
A little beefy, maybe.

251
00:22:53,998 --> 00:22:58,299
Well, for the first time in my life,
I can eat whatever I like, <i>so</i> fuck you.

252
00:22:59,795 --> 00:23:03,800
You had a tough time, huh?
But you're OK now, right?

253
00:23:03,883 --> 00:23:05,726
Yeah, I'm good.

254
00:23:05,801 --> 00:23:08,725
- I'm ready to race, man.
- So what's the problem?

255
00:23:08,804 --> 00:23:10,772
Let's Play-

256
00:23:13,809 --> 00:23:14,901
Ah!

257
00:23:19,648 --> 00:23:21,070
Everything was perfect.

258
00:23:23,986 --> 00:23:27,991
New team. New sponsor. New agent.

259
00:23:28,073 --> 00:23:31,122
Excuse me. Lance. Bill Stapleton.

260
00:23:31,201 --> 00:23:32,999
- Attorney?
- What I'm interested in

261
00:23:33,078 --> 00:23:36,207
is helping athletes get the highest
possible return for work.

262
00:23:36,290 --> 00:23:38,008
- You're an agent?
- Yeah.

263
00:23:38,083 --> 00:23:41,428
We go in hard.
Say, "OK, boys, Olympics in two years."

264
00:23:41,545 --> 00:23:43,798
"You wanna sponsor Lance,
you make a commitment

265
00:23:43,881 --> 00:23:45,929
to pay him a million bucks
if he wins gold."

266
00:23:46,008 --> 00:23:49,433
You're not asking them for money,
you're offering them the once-only,

267
00:23:49,553 --> 00:23:52,432
never-to-be-repeated opportunity
to make a down payment

268
00:23:52,556 --> 00:23:57,153
in the most exciting brand
in the universe of sport. You.

269
00:23:57,227 --> 00:24:00,982
He had it all worked out.
We had a plan for the future.

270
00:24:02,191 --> 00:24:04,740
Then I got sick... Er...

271
00:24:04,818 --> 00:24:07,788
Contract terminated.
Sponsors dropped me.

272
00:24:09,365 --> 00:24:12,369
It was, it was... It was insane.

273
00:24:14,620 --> 00:24:16,918
So what are you going to do next?

274
00:24:16,997 --> 00:24:19,716
I signed with the only team
that would have me.

275
00:24:19,792 --> 00:24:22,716
It's US Postal.

276
00:24:22,795 --> 00:24:25,719
And it's a bullshit contract.
There's no money.

277
00:24:25,798 --> 00:24:30,429
It's a bunch of amateurs,
and there's no strategy for improvement.

278
00:24:32,221 --> 00:24:36,522
So I'd like it
if you come on as team director.

279
00:24:39,603 --> 00:24:41,856
Well, you certainly
make it sound attractive.

280
00:24:41,939 --> 00:24:45,569
Oh, believe me, you would be better off
far, far, far away.

281
00:24:46,819 --> 00:24:48,116
I'll tell you something.

282
00:24:48,195 --> 00:24:50,539
After the disease,

283
00:24:50,614 --> 00:24:55,620
I never wanna be that close
to losing again.

284
00:24:59,581 --> 00:25:01,583
You wanna win the Tour?

285
00:25:05,504 --> 00:25:07,506
- Postal deal still on the table?
- Yeah.

286
00:25:07,589 --> 00:25:10,092
- I wanna talk to you.
- I know what you're gonna say.

287
00:25:10,175 --> 00:25:13,600
- I've persuaded US Postal to sign...
- I'm gonna start a charity.

288
00:25:14,346 --> 00:25:15,563
A what?

289
00:25:15,639 --> 00:25:20,190
I wanna do something that helps people
in the same situation I was.

290
00:25:21,603 --> 00:25:24,106
Now I don't know exactly how to do it

291
00:25:24,189 --> 00:25:29,537
but it has something to do
with research, family and cancer.

292
00:25:31,196 --> 00:25:32,197
Well...

293
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:38,079
That's good. That's great.

294
00:25:38,787 --> 00:25:40,630
I think I can really make a difference.

295
00:25:40,706 --> 00:25:41,707
Of course you can.

296
00:25:41,790 --> 00:25:45,294
And the higher your profile,
the better for your charity.

297
00:25:45,377 --> 00:25:49,928
If you're speaking for athletes
and cancer, that's potent.

298
00:25:50,007 --> 00:25:53,432
That's life and death.
Alright, let's raise the bar.

299
00:25:53,552 --> 00:25:55,179
You could be in a Pepsi commercial.

300
00:25:56,013 --> 00:25:58,641
- What if I win?
- You mean...

301
00:26:00,017 --> 00:26:01,018
the Tour?

302
00:26:01,060 --> 00:26:03,188
Can you really do that?

303
00:26:05,606 --> 00:26:07,984
We're gonna do it
like it's never been done before.

304
00:26:08,067 --> 00:26:11,116
It's gonna be a collaborative effort
with manufacturers,

305
00:26:11,195 --> 00:26:13,448
sponsors, technicians.

306
00:26:13,572 --> 00:26:18,043
- What about the racers?
- I want racers who... serve the team.

307
00:26:19,369 --> 00:26:21,292
Lieutenants who will sit on the front.

308
00:26:21,371 --> 00:26:23,920
Racers for the mountains
and racers for the flats.

309
00:26:23,999 --> 00:26:26,502
We apply science, optimize the diet,

310
00:26:26,585 --> 00:26:29,304
train at altitude,
train for one race only.

311
00:26:29,379 --> 00:26:31,131
We'll be a blue train.

312
00:26:31,215 --> 00:26:33,513
<i>Welcome to
the 86th Tour de France.</i>

313
00:26:33,592 --> 00:26:38,268
<i>After last year's controversial Tour,
what can we expect this time around?</i>

314
00:26:49,191 --> 00:26:51,910
Hey, Walshy! Your carriage awaits.

315
00:26:51,985 --> 00:26:54,033
I see he's matured.

316
00:26:54,113 --> 00:26:57,913
What's the party line? Is this
or is this not the Tour of Renewal?

317
00:26:57,991 --> 00:27:02,542
I think so. The poison has been drawn.
The patient is alive and well.

318
00:27:02,579 --> 00:27:06,334
Your boy's back, David.
Armstrong's risen from the dead.

319
00:27:06,416 --> 00:27:10,592
You know, I think he might do alright.
Might even take a time trial.

320
00:27:10,671 --> 00:27:12,594
Got to admit, the bloke's got balls.

321
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:17,724
<i>Wow.</i>That is...

322
00:27:17,803 --> 00:27:21,148
<i>He's lost a lot of weight
since he was put out of the spar?</i>

323
00:27:21,181 --> 00:27:23,604
<i>By testicular cancer,
a disease which he battled.</i>

324
00:27:23,684 --> 00:27:25,231
Go. Don't stand.

325
00:27:25,310 --> 00:27:26,903
<i>My goodness me,</i>

326
00:27:26,979 --> 00:27:29,949
<i>Lance Armstrong with that performance
may have done enough.</i>

327
00:27:30,023 --> 00:27:31,195
Yes!

328
00:27:31,817 --> 00:27:36,038
<i>So, as we look at the result.
The man on top is Lance Armstrong.</i>

329
00:27:36,989 --> 00:27:39,868
Today's gonna be
one of the hardest days.

330
00:27:39,950 --> 00:27:42,294
You'll be pushed to your limits.

331
00:27:42,369 --> 00:27:45,293
But your job is to protect Lance.

332
00:27:45,372 --> 00:27:48,376
And we can only do that
if we work together as a team.

333
00:27:52,212 --> 00:27:56,308
<i>As far as the General
Classification is concerned, no change.</i>

334
00:27:56,341 --> 00:28:00,721
<i>Stage 9 of the Tour de France.
213 kilometres,</i>

335
00:28:00,804 --> 00:28:03,728
<i>4, 732 metres of ascent.</i>

336

<i>The road from Le Grand Bornand,
up the Col du Telegraphe,</i>

337
00:28:07,811 --> 00:28:11,111
<i>down to Valloire,
Montgenevre and Sestriére.</i>

338
00:28:11,190 --> 00:28:13,284
<i>If a man is to win the Tour de France,</i>

339
00:28:13,358 --> 00:28:17,204
<i>it will be on this stage
that he stamps himself upon the race.</i>

340
00:28:20,657 --> 00:28:24,378
OK, boys, 30K to go. 30K.

341
00:28:45,682 --> 00:28:48,435
Alright, handsome.
I'll tell you when.

342
00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:49,356
Go.

343
00:28:50,979 --> 00:28:53,607
<i>Now, catch up,
catch up with them.</i>

344
00:29:02,908 --> 00:29:04,000
Hold on.

345
00:29:04,076 --> 00:29:05,953
<i>Wait.</i>

346
00:29:06,203 --> 00:29:08,001
<i>Wait.</i>

347
00:29:08,872 --> 00:29:10,966
<i>Not yet.</i>

348
00:29:11,041 --> 00:29:14,511
I'll <i>give you the signal.</i>

349
00:29:16,213 --> 00:29:18,056
And now, it's time to go.

350
00:29:18,131 --> 00:29:20,350
<i>Time to go, Lance. Now.</i>

351
00:29:25,597 --> 00:29:28,316
<i>Now give me some more. Now, go, go...</i>

352
00:29:28,392 --> 00:29:31,020
Come on, set the pace, set the pace.

363

<i>He likes to put on a show

00:30:25,615 --> 00:30:29,711
<i>It is a physical and mental delivery

Bravo.

382
00:31:38,814 --> 00:31:41,317
He used his brakes a lot, didn't he?

383
00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:44,119
On the final climb,
on his way around the corners,

384
00:31:44,194 --> 00:31:47,038
he needed to use his brakes
to slow himself down.

385
00:31:47,114 --> 00:31:49,287
You know, on the way up the mountain.

386
00:31:49,366 --> 00:31:52,290
- You think that's natural?
- Why isn't it enough for you

387
00:31:52,369 --> 00:31:55,213
that today he was just simply
the best of a great bunch?

388
00:31:55,288 --> 00:31:58,713
Because, John, there is nothing
in his record to support that.

389
00:31:58,792 --> 00:32:02,968
He used to get beaten by climbers,
easily, and today he destroyed them.

390
00:32:03,046 --> 00:32:09,725
Prior to this Tour, his best finish
on a mountain stage was 39th.

391
00:32:09,803 --> 00:32:14,730
But now he's a man transformed into
the finest climber I've ever seen.

392
00:32:14,808 --> 00:32:18,403
He's recovered from cancer
and turned into bloody Superman.

393
00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:21,194
I don't think a man who's been through
that kind of illness

394
00:32:21,273 --> 00:32:23,822
would then risk using
potentially dangerous drugs.

395
00:32:23,900 --> 00:32:26,699
The converse is equally persuasive,
Charles.

396
00:32:26,778 --> 00:32:31,284

- Why are you not obsessed with this?

- Settle down.

398
00:32:34,035 --> 00:32:35,537
I don't say it for nothing.

You saw how many drugs
were seized by the police.

401
00:32:40,667 --> 00:32:44,137
And here we are, one year on
in the Tour of Renewal,

402
00:32:44,212 --> 00:32:47,341
and the average racing speed
has gone up.

403
00:32:48,508 --> 00:32:50,101
Can you explain that to me?

404
00:32:50,177 --> 00:32:53,681
Even if Armstrong was doping,
he couldn't possibly hide it.

405
00:32:53,763 --> 00:32:57,108
- The Peloton would know.
- You think they don't know?

406
00:32:57,184 --> 00:33:00,734
Come on. It's omerté.
Nobody's gonna say anything.

407
00:33:00,812 --> 00:33:03,691
Nobody wants to ruin the party.
Just let the sponsors roll in.

408
00:33:03,773 --> 00:33:06,401
Let the media tell their lies
and to hell with the public.

409
00:33:06,526 --> 00:33:09,200
And hey, if the winners are all cheats,
fuck it.

410
00:33:11,781 --> 00:33:14,079
They're too afraid.

411
00:33:14,159 --> 00:33:18,164
The cyclists have too much on the line,
so none of the riders are gonna speak.

412
00:33:21,291 --> 00:33:22,634
Almost.

413
00:33:23,710 --> 00:33:25,678
Of course there is still doping.

414
00:33:25,754 --> 00:33:28,348
That's why it's so fast,
like it's all downhill.

415
00:33:29,341 --> 00:33:30,934
How about Armstrong?

416
00:33:31,009 --> 00:33:34,730
He and I, we are the same height,
same weight.

417
00:33:34,804 --> 00:33:38,274
His V02 max is 83, mine is 85.

418
00:33:38,350 --> 00:33:40,523
We should be like twins.

419
00:33:40,602 --> 00:33:43,822
But he finished
28 minutes ahead of me today.

420
00:33:43,897 --> 00:33:45,615
How's that?

421
00:33:47,609 --> 00:33:49,657
<i>There is a silence
around cycling.</i>

422

<i>A silence from the administrators,

enough maybe it will all go away</i>

What are you doing'? What you're
saying to journalists, it's...

429
00:34:20,559 --> 00:34:22,937
it's not good for cycling.

430
00:34:23,019 --> 00:34:26,114
I'm saying what I think.
There is still doping.

431
00:34:26,189 --> 00:34:29,944
If that's why you're here, maybe you
should just go home and get another job.

432

I will say them.

Just a little bit higher.

439

Yep?

440

No, just getting a mas...
For what? Positive for what?

441

Cortisone?

00:35:14,613 --> 00:35:16,035
No, don't leave.

443
00:35:16,990 --> 00:35:18,287
Tell...

444
00:35:18,366 --> 00:35:21,961
Tell the doctor I have a saddle sore

445
00:35:22,037 --> 00:35:25,382
and I need a script for Cortisone cream.

446
00:35:25,457 --> 00:35:27,425
Pre-date it.

447
00:35:28,376 --> 00:35:30,094
Yeah, everybody's happy.

448
00:35:30,170 --> 00:35:32,389
UCI is an upstanding organization.

449
00:35:33,340 --> 00:35:36,594
And if they don't like it,
tell them to kiss my saddle sore.

450
00:35:37,594 --> 00:35:39,596
OK. Yeah, let me know.

451

00:36:34,317 --> 00:36:36,319
<i>All eyes are on American
Lance Armstrong.</i>

465
00:36:36,403 --> 00:36:39,247
<i>The 27-year-old from Texas
has a commanding lead...</i>

466
00:36:39,322 --> 00:36:43,327
<i>Armstrong still leads.
He's got the Yellow Jersey.</i>

467
00:36:49,207 --> 00:36:51,551
We are the unstoppable train.

468
00:36:52,210 --> 00:36:54,929
<i>This man,
I think it's true to say,</i>

469
00:36:55,004 --> 00:36:56,551
<i>doesn't need EPO to go quick.</i>

470
00:36:56,631 --> 00:36:58,554
Emma, can you get rid of this for me?

471
00:36:59,968 --> 00:37:02,972
<i>This is a team that'.s had a great
build up to the Tour de France.</i>

472
00:37:03,054 --> 00:37:06,274
<i>"They have never been associated
with the word ”dope".</i>

473
00:37:06,349 --> 00:37:08,568
<i>They have always ridden well and clean.</i>

474
00:37:08,643 --> 00:37:12,739
<i>And Lance Armstrong now
has shown them all what they can do.</i>

475
00:37:12,814 --> 00:37:17,786
Today, boys, when you say,
"I can't go any further"

476
00:37:17,861 --> 00:37:20,990
say to yourself "I'm flying".

477
00:37:21,072 --> 00:37:22,289
I'm flying.

478
00:37:23,366 --> 00:37:27,291
<i>At speeds of 80kph,
Zulle is a nervous descender</i>

479
00:37:27,370 --> 00:37:29,122
<i>but Lance Armstrong clearly is not.</i>

480
00:37:29,205 --> 00:37:32,300
Emma, can you cover this up?

481
00:37:32,375 --> 00:37:35,128
That's about as good as it's gonna get.

482
00:37:36,212 --> 00:37:37,589
Boo-yah.

483
00:37:37,672 --> 00:37:40,300
<i>Lance Armstrong had a visit
early this morning</i>

484
00:37:40,341 --> 00:37:42,139
<i>by what the riders call the vampires.</i>

485
00:37:42,218 --> 00:37:45,518
<i>That's the Medical Control Unit
of the International Cycling Union.</i>

486
00:37:45,597 --> 00:37:48,851
<i>They all had their blood tested
for the possible use of EPO.</i>

487
00:37:55,607 --> 00:37:57,359
Lance.

488
00:38:17,629 --> 00:38:19,302
Come on, squeeze it.

489
00:38:19,380 --> 00:38:21,929
Epo is undetectable.

490
00:38:22,008 --> 00:38:24,261
Good for us, but not the UCI.

491
00:38:24,344 --> 00:38:26,187
They test the haematocrit instead.

492
00:38:26,221 --> 00:38:29,145
How much of your blood is cells,
how much is water.

493
00:38:29,182 --> 00:38:32,061
More than 50 means Epo.

494
00:38:32,936 --> 00:38:34,529
Squeeze it.

495
00:38:44,989 --> 00:38:46,787
Come on, fucking dilute my blood.

496
00:38:46,866 --> 00:38:48,914
Close to 50 but not over.

497
00:38:48,993 --> 00:38:51,997
49.99999.

498
00:39:01,172 --> 00:39:03,266
Hey, sorry to keep you. Wanna come in?

499
00:39:03,299 --> 00:39:04,721
Yes, please.

500
00:39:05,593 --> 00:39:07,595
<i>With the cancer beaten,</i>

501
00:39:07,679 --> 00:39:09,932
<i>and Lance looking
an almost certain winner,</i>

502
00:39:10,014 --> 00:39:14,611
<i>I'm not surprised Hollywood
wants make a film of his life.</i>

503
00:39:16,104 --> 00:39:18,983
<i>Thousands of Americans were cheering.</i>

504
00:39:19,065 --> 00:39:22,410
The guy's been through so much.
He deserved this more than anybody.

505
00:39:22,527 --> 00:39:24,825
This is his Tour de France.
Tour de Lance.

506
00:39:36,082 --> 00:39:37,755
<i>Thousands of people</i>

507
00:39:37,834 --> 00:39:40,428
<i>came on bicycles
and pedalled down Congress Avenue</i>

508
00:39:40,503 --> 00:39:43,723
<i>to pay tribute to the most famous
bicyclist in the world.</i>

509
00:39:43,798 --> 00:39:48,053
Well, he overcame cancer, and
I've had cancer, so I can appreciate it.

510
00:39:48,803 --> 00:39:50,271
Cancer...

511
00:39:50,346 --> 00:39:52,724
it's a brutal experience.

512
00:39:52,807 --> 00:39:54,855
But you meet yourself along the way.

513
00:39:54,934 --> 00:39:59,110
I approached my disease the same way
that I'd approach a race.

514
00:39:59,188 --> 00:40:01,657
There's an enemy to be defeated.

515
00:40:01,733 --> 00:40:05,909
I recall one time in the hospital,
the third cycle of chemo,

516
00:40:05,987 --> 00:40:11,289
very weak, making my way down
an endless hallway

517
00:40:11,367 --> 00:40:13,540
and a nurse comes up to me
with a wheelchair.

518
00:40:13,620 --> 00:40:17,295
She said, "Mr Armstrong,
would you care to sit down?"

519
00:40:17,373 --> 00:40:21,719
And I said, "Thanks, but no thanks."

520
00:40:21,794 --> 00:40:24,138
I.m gonna walk."

521
00:40:24,213 --> 00:40:28,719
And I did.
I didn't give up because it's worth it.

522
00:40:28,801 --> 00:40:33,932
Inside us is something more potent, more
powerful than any drug on the planet.

523
00:40:34,015 --> 00:40:37,269
It's in me, it's in you,
it's in every newborn baby.

524
00:40:37,352 --> 00:40:38,774
It's called...

525
00:40:38,853 --> 00:40:41,197
the will to survive.

526
00:40:42,815 --> 00:40:47,446
See, we are all the authors
of our own life story.

527
00:40:47,570 --> 00:40:53,543
So go out there and write the best damn
story you can and live it and be strong.

528
00:40:56,245 --> 00:40:57,588
Thanks.

529
00:41:07,215 --> 00:41:08,683
You're brave.

530
00:41:09,717 --> 00:41:11,811
For what, making a speech?

531
00:41:11,886 --> 00:41:13,513
No, I meant in hospital.

532
00:41:14,430 --> 00:41:15,556
Thanks.

533
00:41:17,684 --> 00:41:20,688
You know, there are some things
that you can't...

534
00:41:25,900 --> 00:41:28,369
I just tell them what they wanna hear.

535
00:41:35,368 --> 00:41:37,211
You like pizza?

536
00:41:37,286 --> 00:41:38,583
Yeah.

537
00:41:38,621 --> 00:41:40,919
- You like oysters?
- Yes.

538
00:41:40,999 --> 00:41:43,752
- You like Italian food?
- Yeah.

539
00:41:46,337 --> 00:41:50,683
- You like bicycles?
- Yes.

540
00:41:57,932 --> 00:42:01,027
<i>Lance Armstrong

<i>as they have done for a third year now,

547

00:42:37,847 --> 00:42:39,269
Yeah.

555
00:42:39,348 --> 00:42:40,850
See you, guys-

556
00:42:42,435 --> 00:42:43,857
Do you have time for one more?

557
00:42:43,936 --> 00:42:47,281
Sorry. He's gotta get
to another appointment.

558
00:42:47,356 --> 00:42:49,074
- A quick one.
- In there.

559
00:42:49,150 --> 00:42:51,027
His name's Jack.

560
00:42:51,110 --> 00:42:52,737
Well, we ha...

561
00:42:54,072 --> 00:42:56,120
Hey, Jack.

562
00:42:56,199 --> 00:42:58,293
Can I do anything for you?

563
00:42:58,367 --> 00:43:01,120
Wanna take a picture together?

564
00:43:01,871 --> 00:43:03,544
You want a T-shirt?

565
00:43:17,178 --> 00:43:18,270
It's pretty bad, right?

566
00:43:24,018 --> 00:43:27,568
We don't have to talk.
We can just sit here.

567
00:43:31,567 --> 00:43:33,615
I got all day.

568
00:43:51,212 --> 00:43:53,010
Thank you so much.

569
00:43:55,341 --> 00:43:56,718
To who?

570
00:43:56,801 --> 00:43:59,600
Oh, just your name. Thanks.

571
00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:04,267
I gave UP-

572
00:44:05,268 --> 00:44:07,896
I turned my face to the wall to die.

573
00:44:09,355 --> 00:44:12,859
But you made me live, Lance Armstrong.

574
00:44:16,237 --> 00:44:18,365
And that's who you are.

575
00:44:40,595 --> 00:44:42,518
- Ben Johnson.
- What about him?

576
00:44:42,597 --> 00:44:46,022
The Olympic Games, Seoul, 1988.
He tested positive for Stanozolol.

577
00:44:46,100 --> 00:44:47,397
I remember.

578
00:44:47,518 --> 00:44:51,773
Michelle Smith, Atlanta '96. Accused
of tampering with a urine sample.

579
00:44:51,856 --> 00:44:55,030
Every heroic athlete you cover
is gonna crumble into dust.

580
00:44:55,109 --> 00:44:57,908
And the next name you're gonna mention
is Lance Armstrong.

581
00:44:57,987 --> 00:44:59,910
- You're a clever sausage.
- I knew it.

582
00:44:59,989 --> 00:45:02,583
- Everybody thinks I'm mad!
- Not everybody. But, yes.

583
00:45:02,658 --> 00:45:04,911
And why is that?
Let's take that question first.

584
00:45:04,994 --> 00:45:09,124
Is it because Lance Armstrong,
handsome young cancer survivor,

585
00:45:09,207 --> 00:45:12,211
the inspirer of millions,
cannot possibly be a cheat

586
00:45:12,293 --> 00:45:15,263
because that would reveal the world
to be a great pile of shit?

587
00:45:15,338 --> 00:45:17,136
Yeah, that's pretty much it.

588
00:45:17,215 --> 00:45:21,721
David, do you have any substantial
information to back up your story?

589
00:45:21,802 --> 00:45:23,520
Like they do in proper journalism.

590
00:45:23,596 --> 00:45:29,524
Yes, I do have some substantial
information. Michele Ferrari.

591
00:45:29,602 --> 00:45:33,027
He is the godfather of blood doping.

592
00:45:33,105 --> 00:45:36,530
The Italian cops have taken Ferrari

593
00:45:36,609 --> 00:45:39,658
because of some financial
irregularities.

594
00:45:39,737 --> 00:45:43,867
- They seized his diary from '97.
- And Lance is in it?

595
00:45:43,950 --> 00:45:46,328
- No.
- David.

596
00:45:46,410 --> 00:45:47,832
One of his team-mates is in it.

597
00:45:47,912 --> 00:45:49,710
And two years later...

598
00:45:50,581 --> 00:45:52,834
Lance takes a little trip to Ferrari.

599
00:45:52,917 --> 00:45:55,716
He stays here at
the Hotel Duchessa Isabella.

600
00:45:55,795 --> 00:46:00,517
From there to the residence of Michele
Ferrari is less than ten minutes walk.

601
00:46:00,591 --> 00:46:04,687
"Armstrong visits Pope of dope."
How did you find this out?

602
00:46:06,180 --> 00:46:07,648
Friend of a friend.

603
00:46:07,723 --> 00:46:10,852
- David.
- So I sent Lance a very polite letter.

604
00:46:10,935 --> 00:46:14,530
And lo and behold...
he accepts my invitation.

605
00:46:18,859 --> 00:46:19,860
Hi.

606
00:46:19,944 --> 00:46:21,287
David.

607
00:46:21,362 --> 00:46:24,992
Hi, Lance. Thanks for coming. <i>So...</i>

608
00:46:25,992 --> 00:46:27,369
Let me just...

609
00:46:31,205 --> 00:46:34,835
Dr Ferrari made a statement about EPO.
Do you remember that?

610
00:46:34,917 --> 00:46:38,717
- No.
- Did you ever visit Michele Ferrari?

611
00:46:38,796 --> 00:46:41,094
- I did know him.
- How did you know him?

612
00:46:41,173 --> 00:46:46,771
In cycling you go to races, there are
lots of people. A small community.

613
00:46:46,846 --> 00:46:48,393
Did you ever visit him?

614
00:46:48,514 --> 00:46:50,187
Did I get tested by him,

615
00:46:50,266 --> 00:46:53,520
did I go there
and get consulted on certain things?

616
00:46:53,602 --> 00:46:56,025
- Perhaps.
- So you did?

617
00:47:02,528 --> 00:47:05,748
The tape recorder won't pick up
your body language

618
00:47:05,781 --> 00:47:07,624
<i>so</i> can I get a yes or a no on that?

619
00:47:09,201 --> 00:47:11,124
Perhaps.

620
00:47:11,203 --> 00:47:13,581
He's about to be tried
for criminal conspiracy.

621
00:47:18,878 --> 00:47:24,135
I think the judges and the prosecutors
should pursue everybody,

622
00:47:24,216 --> 00:47:28,642
no matter who they are,
because that's their job.

623
00:47:31,223 --> 00:47:33,191
So, he's evasive.

624
00:47:33,267 --> 00:47:36,396
What does it all add up to? Nothing.

625
00:47:36,520 --> 00:47:40,275
You got nothing, David.
No evidence I can actually publish.

626
00:47:40,358 --> 00:47:42,907
Alex, we can't censor this.
It's too important.

627
00:47:42,985 --> 00:47:45,158
The fact is, the law may take a view

628
00:47:45,237 --> 00:47:49,538
that even asking a question about
him doping is to make an allegation.

629
00:47:49,617 --> 00:47:51,711
And I'm not sure
we're able to support that.

630
00:47:51,786 --> 00:47:55,086
If you shy away from this, you should
get somebody else to do my job

631
00:47:55,164 --> 00:47:57,292
because as much as I like the Tour

632
00:47:57,375 --> 00:48:01,221
I have no interest in going up a
mountain to watch chemists compete!

633
00:48:03,339 --> 00:48:06,218
Feel free to come back
when you've got some evidence, David.

634
00:48:08,594 --> 00:48:11,848
So you must know
that Tyler Hamilton has left the team

635
00:48:11,931 --> 00:48:14,104
and that we're looking
for a replacement.

636
00:48:16,352 --> 00:48:19,105
You're a terrific cyclist, Floyd,

637
00:48:19,188 --> 00:48:21,611
and Lance wants you on US Postal.

638
00:48:23,651 --> 00:48:25,073
Your job is to protect him.

639
00:48:28,114 --> 00:48:29,115
Yes.

640
00:48:30,699 --> 00:48:33,043
You're a good rider.

641
00:48:34,537 --> 00:48:37,290
You could be one of the greats.

642
00:48:37,373 --> 00:48:40,923
Unless you are willing to compete
in every way,

643
00:48:41,001 --> 00:48:43,220
you're just gonna get left behind,
which...

644
00:48:44,004 --> 00:48:47,349
It would be a shame
for a talent such as yourself.

645
00:48:54,306 --> 00:48:56,729
<i>This is the program.</i>

646
00:48:58,310 --> 00:49:00,733
Testosterone patches.

647
00:49:00,813 --> 00:49:02,156
You wear one at night...

648
00:49:02,231 --> 00:49:04,734
every two out of three days.

649
00:49:04,817 --> 00:49:05,818
Yeah.

650
00:49:06,986 --> 00:49:08,283
Micro dosing.

651
00:49:08,362 --> 00:49:11,662
Ten units per kilo intravenously.
Out of your system in 12 hours.

652
00:49:11,740 --> 00:49:14,664
Just don't get tested in the glow time.

653
00:49:16,203 --> 00:49:18,922
Their tests for Epo
have gotten much tougher.

654
00:49:18,998 --> 00:49:22,719
Now we take the blood out
when it's good, store it in the fridge,

655
00:49:22,793 --> 00:49:24,420
and put it back in when we need it.

656
00:49:24,545 --> 00:49:26,798
It's red blood cells, Floyd,
that's all we need.

657
00:49:26,881 --> 00:49:29,600
The more oxygen, the more fast.

658
00:49:30,342 --> 00:49:33,141
It's how we win, man. It's hard work.

659
00:49:33,220 --> 00:49:35,018
One step ahead of the other guy.

660
00:49:47,818 --> 00:49:51,539
<i>Et voila'.</i>

661
00:49:51,614 --> 00:49:53,787
Shit, man,
you got the hang of it already.

662
00:49:54,617 --> 00:49:56,711
After a year,
all I can say is "margherita".

663
00:49:56,785 --> 00:50:00,665
- And margherita is Italian.
- No wonder I'm not getting anywhere.

664
00:50:00,748 --> 00:50:02,421
He's late.

665
00:50:03,375 --> 00:50:07,005
Hey, man, it's his team.
He shows up when he wants to.

666
00:50:11,217 --> 00:50:13,140
Say, Tony.

667
00:50:13,219 --> 00:50:16,723
How many of these do you think
I could drink before he gets here?

668
00:50:16,805 --> 00:50:19,024
Is that a good idea?

669
00:50:41,997 --> 00:50:44,500
<i>- Dad?
- You Ok?</i>

670
00:50:44,583 --> 00:50:45,926
Yeah.

671
00:50:46,001 --> 00:50:50,131
Son, riding a bike for pleasure
is against the tenets of our faith.

672
00:50:50,214 --> 00:50:52,717
Yeah, I know that, Dad.

673
00:50:52,800 --> 00:50:54,347
Be careful, Floyd.

674
00:51:01,225 --> 00:51:03,648
Oh, yeah.

675
00:51:03,936 --> 00:51:05,688
<i>Et voila.</i>

676
00:51:05,771 --> 00:51:06,988
<i>Et voilé.</i>

677
00:51:09,316 --> 00:51:12,695
<i>Not bad. Not bad at</i> all.

678
00:51:12,778 --> 00:51:16,624
Floyd. I don't mind the caffeine, but
the cream, it's gonna make you fat.

679
00:51:16,699 --> 00:51:18,246
Don't fuck with my investment.

680
00:51:21,370 --> 00:51:23,714
<i>Armstrong's men on the frontier.</i>

681
00:51:23,789 --> 00:51:26,633
<i>This is the blue train,
the blue guard of Lance Armstrong.</i>

682
00:51:26,709 --> 00:51:29,508
<i>You need the team
to keep yourself competitive.</i>

683
00:51:29,587 --> 00:51:31,715
<i>Floyd Landis setting the pace
at the front.</i>

684
00:51:31,797 --> 00:51:34,676
<i>Basically in the Tour for one reason</i>

685
00:51:34,758 --> 00:51:36,806
<i>and that reason is to look after
Armstrong.</i>

686
00:51:39,096 --> 00:51:41,565
Come on, Floyd,
keep the pace, protect Lance.

687
00:51:41,640 --> 00:51:44,018
Bring Lance to the finishing line.
Come on.

688
00:51:56,363 --> 00:51:59,287
Some really great riding today, Floyd.

689
00:51:59,366 --> 00:52:01,835
Ah, no sweat, man.

690
00:52:01,910 --> 00:52:05,289
I couldn't have gotten up that mountain
without you.

691
00:52:05,372 --> 00:52:07,625
That's what I'm there for.

692
00:52:07,708 --> 00:52:10,177
Did great, didn't he?

693
00:52:10,252 --> 00:52:11,799
He was fantastic.

694
00:52:11,879 --> 00:52:14,428
- Shall I?
- Yeah, ask him.

695
00:52:15,215 --> 00:52:19,891
Well, Floyd...
how would you feel about...

696
00:52:21,764 --> 00:52:24,187
"another two years contract
with US Postal?"

697
00:52:24,266 --> 00:52:28,567
Yes. Yes! You could have said that
at the beginning.

698
00:52:28,646 --> 00:52:30,648
I thought you were going to ditch me,
man.

699
00:52:30,731 --> 00:52:32,608
No way, Floyd, no way.

700
00:52:32,691 --> 00:52:35,535
<i>Yes.</i>

701
00:52:35,611 --> 00:52:38,785
Yeah, it's... going pretty well.

702
00:52:38,864 --> 00:52:41,868
<i>- That's wonderful, son. Is he winning?</i>
- Yeah, <i>he's in yellow.</i>

703
00:52:41,950 --> 00:52:46,080
<i>- Make sure you pray every day.</i>
- <i>OK, Dad,</i> I <i>will.</i>

704
00:52:46,163 --> 00:52:47,836
Alright, love to Mom.

705
00:53:17,945 --> 00:53:20,164
I feel very disappointed and letdown.

706
00:53:20,239 --> 00:53:22,742
This is as awkward for us
as it is for you.

707
00:53:22,825 --> 00:53:24,623
But I've never tested positive.

708
00:53:24,660 --> 00:53:27,960
We can explain.
The EPO test is not simple.

709
00:53:28,038 --> 00:53:32,669
There is a protein isoform,
your level is 75%

710
00:53:32,751 --> 00:53:34,753
which is high, yes,
but still it's...

711
00:53:34,837 --> 00:53:36,680
No one's listening.

712
00:53:36,755 --> 00:53:39,554
No one will say he's borderline.
They'll say he's a cheat.

713
00:53:39,633 --> 00:53:43,683
He is single-handedly transforming
your shitty little Eurosport

714
00:53:43,762 --> 00:53:45,981
into a globally significant brand.

715
00:53:46,056 --> 00:53:48,809
Please, no one appreciates Lance
more than we do.

716
00:53:48,892 --> 00:53:51,270
Right, in terms of what we do
with this result,

717
00:53:51,353 --> 00:53:54,903
I think you should do
whatever you think is best

718
00:53:54,940 --> 00:53:57,238
for the integrity of cycling.

719
00:54:02,030 --> 00:54:03,998
I'll leave it to you.

720
00:54:07,161 --> 00:54:11,257
<i>The young revelation
for me from the US Postal Service team</i>

721
00:54:11,331 --> 00:54:13,379
<i>on the front right now Floyd Landis.</i>

722
00:54:13,459 --> 00:54:17,714
<i>And the winner, well, I guess we know
that one, Lance Armstrong.</i>

723
00:54:27,264 --> 00:54:31,644
<i>The first American
to win the Tour de France five times.</i>

724
00:54:33,312 --> 00:54:36,065
<i>As Armstrong
celebrates his fifth Tour,</i>

725
00:54:36,148 --> 00:54:39,652
<i>it appears that his erstwhile,
never-to-be-mentioned "non trainer",</i>

726
00:54:39,735 --> 00:54:41,078
<i>Dr Michele Ferrari,</i>

727
00:54:41,153 --> 00:54:43,952
<i>may finally be caught
in the net of Italian justice.</i>

728
00:54:44,031 --> 00:54:46,705
<i>Evidence has been collected
and a case prepared.</i>

729
00:54:46,742 --> 00:54:50,713
<i>If witnesses step forward,
who knows what might be delivered.</i>

730
00:55:17,940 --> 00:55:20,363
- Don't touch.
- It's slow.

731
00:55:29,910 --> 00:55:31,002
What?

732
00:55:48,095 --> 00:55:49,597
That guy?

733
00:55:50,764 --> 00:55:53,108
Who, Simeoni?

734
00:55:53,141 --> 00:55:54,142
Yeah.

735
00:56:00,524 --> 00:56:03,448
It was a mistake
to testify against Ferrari.

736
00:56:06,071 --> 00:56:08,540
I have the money and the power...

737
00:56:09,533 --> 00:56:11,331
to destroy you.

738
00:56:28,844 --> 00:56:30,437
Go Floyd!

739
00:56:38,353 --> 00:56:41,072
Wanna grab dinner tonight?
Robin's in town.

740
00:56:41,148 --> 00:56:43,150
- Robin?
- Yeah, Williams.

741
00:56:44,359 --> 00:56:46,453
Want a roll?

742
00:56:46,570 --> 00:56:47,992
No, thanks.

743
00:56:49,573 --> 00:56:52,577
- What's up?
- I wouldn't have done that today.

744
00:56:52,659 --> 00:56:54,252
Done what?

745
00:56:54,328 --> 00:56:55,796
Simeoni.

746
00:56:57,581 --> 00:56:58,958
Simeoni.

747
00:57:00,542 --> 00:57:02,965
Simeoni's testifying against Ferrari.

748
00:57:03,962 --> 00:57:05,635
That's as good as attacking us.

749
00:57:05,714 --> 00:57:08,217
OK, but he's a racer.

750
00:57:09,426 --> 00:57:11,428
He rides a bike, like us.

751
00:57:15,557 --> 00:57:17,104
OK.

752
00:57:17,142 --> 00:57:22,148
You and me, everyone here,
we're all on the program. OK'?

753
00:57:23,065 --> 00:57:24,157
I know...

754
00:57:25,859 --> 00:57:28,078
Yeah, I know that.

755
00:57:28,153 --> 00:57:31,999
I'm not getting moralistic about it.
I just wouldn't have done that.

756
00:57:44,169 --> 00:57:48,549
I have never tested positive for
performance enhancing drugs.

757
00:57:50,717 --> 00:57:54,438
Never. I've never tested positive
for performance enhancing drugs.

758
00:57:54,554 --> 00:57:58,980
I've never tested positive
for performance enhancing drugs.

759
00:58:03,146 --> 00:58:04,022
Hm?

760
00:58:05,774 --> 00:58:07,776
What's that?

761
00:58:10,779 --> 00:58:15,706
Thank you. No, thank you.
I appreciate that. That's a...

762
00:58:15,742 --> 00:58:19,588
That's an important question.
Perhaps there was a problem in the past.

763
00:58:21,164 --> 00:58:23,087
But now...

764
00:58:23,166 --> 00:58:25,339
they test for drugs all the time.

765
00:58:26,336 --> 00:58:28,680
What we all have to do...

766
00:58:28,755 --> 00:58:31,975
is fall back in love with cycling.

767
00:58:39,891 --> 00:58:45,364
I have never tested positive for
performance enhancing drugs.

768
00:58:55,574 --> 00:58:57,167
Next question.

769
00:58:58,535 --> 00:59:00,663
David Walsh, Sunday Times.

770
00:59:00,746 --> 00:59:03,215
Mr Walsh, good to see you here.

771
00:59:03,290 --> 00:59:07,887
Lance, do you feel a responsibility,
personally,

772
00:59:07,961 --> 00:59:10,430
to promote a better image
for cycling?

773
00:59:10,547 --> 00:59:12,891
And if so, how do you reconcile that

774
00:59:12,966 --> 00:59:16,971
with your doctor/trainer being
so associated with doping?

775
00:59:17,054 --> 00:59:20,103
- You're talking about Doctor Ferrari?
- I am.

776
00:59:20,140 --> 00:59:22,108
Right. OK.

777
00:59:22,142 --> 00:59:25,146
I'm confident in my relationship
with Doctor Ferrari.

778
00:59:25,228 --> 00:59:27,322
I believe he's an honest man.

779
00:59:27,397 --> 00:59:31,402
I believe he's a fair man.
I believe he's an innocent man.

780
00:59:32,027 --> 00:59:34,450
You know, people are smart.

781
00:59:34,571 --> 00:59:36,323
People will look at the facts and say,

782
00:59:36,406 --> 00:59:40,661
"OK, here's Lance Armstrong,
here's a relationship."

783
00:59:40,744 --> 00:59:43,873
Is that questionable'? Perhaps.

784
00:59:43,955 --> 00:59:47,880
Will they say,
"Lance Armstrong tested positive"? No.

785
00:59:47,959 --> 00:59:52,635
Because I have never tested positive
for performance enhancing drugs.

786
00:59:52,714 --> 00:59:55,888
"Has Lance Armstrong been tested?"
Absolutely.

787
00:59:55,967 --> 00:59:59,267
I am the most tested athlete
on the face of the planet.

788
00:59:59,346 --> 01:00:01,895
"Is there now a test for EPO?"
Yes, there is.

789
01:00:01,973 --> 01:00:06,274
"Will he <i>pass</i> every test
because he does not take EPO?"

790
01:00:06,353 --> 01:00:08,071
Yes, he will.

791
01:00:08,146 --> 01:00:09,944
Next question, please.

792
01:00:34,422 --> 01:00:36,925
- How long to change this?
- About 20 minutes.

793
01:00:37,008 --> 01:00:39,557
20 minutes, go for it.

794
01:00:56,736 --> 01:00:59,205
OK, guys. The bar's open.

795
01:01:04,703 --> 01:01:08,048
Hey, Lance, is it true they're
making a movie about you?

796
01:01:09,374 --> 01:01:11,376
Yeah. Pretty cool, right?

797
01:01:11,459 --> 01:01:13,928
Do you know who's gonna play you?

798
01:01:14,004 --> 01:01:15,927
It was supposed to be Matt Damon.

799
01:01:16,006 --> 01:01:17,178
Matt Damon?!

800
01:01:17,257 --> 01:01:21,228
He's pretty shit-hot at running across
rooftops and stuff, but...

801
01:01:21,261 --> 01:01:22,854
he's not you.

802
01:01:22,929 --> 01:01:26,354
He fell out.
I think it's gonna be Jake Gyllenhaal.

803
01:01:26,433 --> 01:01:28,310
- Jake Gyllenhaal?!
- Yeah.

804
01:01:28,393 --> 01:01:32,944
Oh, dude, that is awesome.
Did you see that movie, <i>Donnie</i> Darko?

805
01:01:32,981 --> 01:01:34,233
No.

806
01:01:34,357 --> 01:01:37,861
At the beginning of that film,
Jake Gyllenhaal is riding a bike.

807
01:01:37,944 --> 01:01:39,787
- So'?
- Well, so he'd be perfect.

808
01:01:39,821 --> 01:01:43,166
Why? To play me?
Because he can ride a bike?

809
01:01:43,241 --> 01:01:46,916
- What else does he have to do?
- But can he take drugs?

810
01:02:00,383 --> 01:02:03,102
Excuse me. Are we short of some bikes?

811
01:02:06,056 --> 01:02:08,650
Excuse me.
Where have all the bikes gone?

812
01:02:10,518 --> 01:02:12,316
<i>- You sold the bikes.
- No.</i>

813
01:02:12,395 --> 01:02:16,150
- You sold the bikes, Johan!
- Calm down.

814
01:02:16,942 --> 01:02:20,572
- There's no need to be angry.
- There's no need to be angry?

815
01:02:20,654 --> 01:02:24,704
We didn't sell your bike.
I don't see the problem.

816
01:02:24,741 --> 01:02:26,743
I guess it's just a matter of time,
right?

817
01:02:26,826 --> 01:02:28,999
Jesus.
Where do you think it all comes from?

818
01:02:29,079 --> 01:02:30,171
What?!

819
01:02:31,164 --> 01:02:33,667
Doctor Ferrari, the program.

820
01:02:33,750 --> 01:02:35,878
It all needs to be paid for.

821
01:02:35,961 --> 01:02:39,135
Do you think it all goes down as
expenses? That what you think?

822
01:02:39,756 --> 01:02:42,100
We keep it off the books.

823
01:02:42,175 --> 01:02:45,145
You sold the bikes to pay for drugs?

824
01:02:49,724 --> 01:02:51,351
So Lance...

825
01:02:52,686 --> 01:02:54,984
gets a limo.

826
01:02:55,063 --> 01:02:57,657
Lance gets a suite.

827
01:02:57,732 --> 01:03:01,453
Lance gets a private jet.
Lance gets a helicopter.

828
01:03:01,569 --> 01:03:02,661
Lance...

829
01:03:03,571 --> 01:03:08,077
and his fuckin' cancer shield so
no one can say a fuckin' word about it.

830
01:03:08,159 --> 01:03:09,661
And the rest of us,

831
01:03:09,744 --> 01:03:12,463
we work our asses off
to get him over the line,

832
01:03:12,580 --> 01:03:15,925
to clear a fucking path for him,
to take the win for him.

833
01:03:16,001 --> 01:03:18,379
And now this.

834
01:03:19,963 --> 01:03:25,220
We're a cycling team, selling our bikes,
to pay for drugs.

835
01:03:27,762 --> 01:03:31,187
I didn't... I didn't sign up for this.

836
01:03:34,102 --> 01:03:35,729
Look, Floyd...

837
01:03:37,063 --> 01:03:40,237
if you think you'd be happier
on another team...

838
01:03:42,360 --> 01:03:45,580
your contract expires
at the end of the season.

839
01:03:49,617 --> 01:03:51,619
We both know you're good.

840
01:03:53,246 --> 01:03:55,465
And one day you'll win.

841
01:03:55,540 --> 01:03:59,886
And I can help you.
So don't do this to me.

842
01:03:59,961 --> 01:04:01,338
Alright, fuck you.

843
01:04:12,349 --> 01:04:13,441
Hello?

844
01:04:13,558 --> 01:04:17,688
<i>Hi, David. Frankie Andreu,
used to ride on Lance's team.</i>

845
01:04:17,771 --> 01:04:21,446
<i>He's got a wife called Betsy
and I think you two should talk.</i>

846
01:04:21,566 --> 01:04:23,660
- <i>What</i> are <i>you talking about?
- Just call her.</i>

847
01:04:35,580 --> 01:04:36,877
<i>Hello?</i>

848
01:04:36,956 --> 01:04:38,674
Erm, Betsy Andreu?

849
01:04:38,750 --> 01:04:39,876
<i>Speaking.</i>

850
01:04:39,959 --> 01:04:42,883
Hi, my name is David Walsh.

851
01:04:42,962 --> 01:04:45,431
<i>You're the guy who writes about Lance?</i>

852
01:04:45,548 --> 01:04:47,892
Well, I write about other things, too.

853
01:04:47,967 --> 01:04:50,686
- <i>But Lance, right?
- Yeah, Lance.</i>

854
01:04:50,762 --> 01:04:52,105
OK.

855
01:04:53,640 --> 01:04:55,017
I was there.

856
01:04:55,100 --> 01:04:57,068
<i>You were where?</i>

857
01:04:57,143 --> 01:04:58,360
In the room.

858
01:04:58,436 --> 01:05:00,313
In what room?

859
01:05:00,397 --> 01:05:02,991
The hospital room. Come on. Speed up.

860
01:05:03,775 --> 01:05:06,870
<i>So, October '96,
Lance is in the hospital.</i>

861
01:05:06,945 --> 01:05:10,666
<i>I guess he's starting to get better,
but he's still pretty ill.</i>

862
01:05:11,366 --> 01:05:15,462
<i>Frankie and I drop in to visit.
This doctor comes in.</i>

863
01:05:15,578 --> 01:05:18,457
Excuse me. Mr Armstrong,
I was reviewing your records.

864
01:05:18,540 --> 01:05:21,043
Could I clarify a couple of issues
in your history?

865
01:05:21,126 --> 01:05:22,503
We offered to leave, but...

866
01:05:22,585 --> 01:05:26,431
<i>Lance said that he wanted us to
stay. Then this doctor asks him...</i>

867
01:05:26,548 --> 01:05:29,051
In the past,
you were on no regular medication?

868
01:05:29,134 --> 01:05:31,102
No.

869
01:05:31,177 --> 01:05:35,432
You ever use any other drugs?
Any performance enhancing drugs?

870
01:05:35,557 --> 01:05:36,979
Testosterone...

871
01:05:38,143 --> 01:05:41,397
Epo, growth hormone, cortisone...

872
01:05:41,521 --> 01:05:43,398
and other steroids.

873
01:05:45,191 --> 01:05:46,568
Tell me that again.

874
01:05:46,651 --> 01:05:49,951
Epo, testosterone, growth hormone,
cortisone and other steroids.

875
01:05:50,029 --> 01:05:51,906
- He said that?
- She says he said that.

876
01:05:51,990 --> 01:05:55,290
- On the record?
- And she's not the only one.

877
01:05:55,368 --> 01:05:57,871
<i>Now I started to attract
the dissidents.</i>

878
01:05:57,954 --> 01:06:02,676
Well, there's a culture of doping
in US Postal.

879
01:06:02,750 --> 01:06:07,881
I never asked to be involved, but at
times it was impossible to avoid.

880
01:06:09,048 --> 01:06:10,891
<i>And than there was Stephen Swan'.</i>

881
01:06:10,967 --> 01:06:13,641
I was a rider with Motorola
in 1995 and...

882
01:06:13,720 --> 01:06:17,395
I can tell you that Lance was the
leader in trying to get us to dope.

883
01:06:17,515 --> 01:06:21,065
You love peas, don't you?
Peas are your favourite thing.

884
01:06:21,144 --> 01:06:22,066
Hello?

885
01:06:22,145 --> 01:06:24,273
<i>- David Walsh?
- Yeah.</i>

886
01:06:24,355 --> 01:06:27,609
<i>My name is Bob Hamman.
You don't know me</i>

887
01:06:27,692 --> 01:06:31,242
<i>but I'd like to talk to you
and I'll pay for your ticket.</i>

888
01:06:40,371 --> 01:06:45,468
I've been playing poker since '55,
bridge since '63, insurance since '86.

889
01:06:45,543 --> 01:06:47,545
All the same game.

890
01:06:48,546 --> 01:06:52,426
At the core of what I do
is making judgment of risk

891
01:06:52,550 --> 01:06:56,350
in situations where the odds
are essentially complex.

892
01:06:59,140 --> 01:07:05,273
Back in 2000, I get a visit from the
owners of the US Postal cycling team.

893
01:07:05,355 --> 01:07:07,278
You may wanna write this down.

894
01:07:07,357 --> 01:07:09,200
As the owners of Tailwind,

895
01:07:09,275 --> 01:07:12,154
the company that finances
the US Postal cycling team...

896
01:07:12,237 --> 01:07:14,035
You're the victims of your own success.

897
01:07:15,740 --> 01:07:17,037
I guess you could say that.

898
01:07:17,116 --> 01:07:21,087
This Armstrong guy,
he's a pretty good... cyclist, right?

899
01:07:22,038 --> 01:07:23,415
He's the best.

900
01:07:24,791 --> 01:07:27,886
And you paid him his bonus
for winning the Tour de France?

901
01:07:27,961 --> 01:07:29,304
That's right.

902
01:07:29,379 --> 01:07:30,972
What if he keeps on winning?

903
01:07:31,047 --> 01:07:34,426
Well, obviously,
we'd be delighted if he keeps winning.

904
01:07:34,551 --> 01:07:35,894
How much are you in for?

905
01:07:35,969 --> 01:07:40,816
If he wins every Tour between now
and 2004, we will owe him nearly...

906
01:07:40,890 --> 01:07:42,437
10 million dollars.

907
01:07:44,769 --> 01:07:49,400
So, the question is, how much would it
cost for me to take on that risk?

908
01:07:52,026 --> 01:07:54,825
2002, 2003, we paid out.

909
01:07:54,862 --> 01:07:57,991
Then comes 2004...
and he goes on winning.

910
01:07:58,074 --> 01:08:02,671
Then we hear about this journalist
making unwelcome inquiries

911
01:08:02,745 --> 01:08:06,090
and it turns out that perhaps
all is not what it seemed.

912
01:08:06,165 --> 01:08:11,387
You see, if he's cheating in the races,
then he's cheating on us as well.

913
01:08:13,172 --> 01:08:16,802
And if he didn't really win,
they don't really owe him the money.

914
01:08:16,884 --> 01:08:19,637
Exactly! Well done, Alex.
You've finally caught up.

915
01:08:19,721 --> 01:08:21,689
But let us not forget this.

916
01:08:21,764 --> 01:08:26,144
Lance Armstrong
has never tested positive.

917
01:08:27,353 --> 01:08:29,902
Can you imagine how disastrous
it would be if he did?

918
01:08:29,939 --> 01:08:32,658
- He wouldn't like it.
- Nobody would.

919
01:08:32,734 --> 01:08:35,738
Lance is very respectful
of the governing body.

920
01:08:35,820 --> 01:08:39,074
So supportive, in fact, that sometimes
he even gives them money.

921
01:08:39,157 --> 01:08:41,285
- And here it is.
- What is that?

922
01:08:41,367 --> 01:08:45,088
This is what they bought
with Lance's money.

923
01:08:45,163 --> 01:08:48,463
It's a compact high-performance
haematology analyzer

924
01:08:48,541 --> 01:08:50,839
that provides precise
and accurate results.

925
01:08:50,918 --> 01:08:55,890
"Lance Armstrong Fights War On Drugs!"
You gotta admit it's a great headline.

926
01:08:55,965 --> 01:08:58,059
It's a great headline.

927
01:08:58,134 --> 01:09:00,182
You realise
what we're up against.

928
01:09:00,219 --> 01:09:04,440
Lance Armstrong is a friend of George
Bush, Bill Clinton, Sheryl Crow,

929
01:09:04,557 --> 01:09:08,061
David Letterman,
Robin Williams and bloody Bono.

930
01:09:08,102 --> 01:09:10,446
That many famous people
can't be wrong, can they?

931
01:09:10,563 --> 01:09:15,034
OK, write it. We'll put it in front
of the lawyers, take it from there.

932
01:09:19,530 --> 01:09:21,578
David Walsh!
David fucking Walsh!

933
01:09:21,658 --> 01:09:25,288
That fucking troll!
Has he ever even been on a bike?

934
01:09:25,370 --> 01:09:29,750
Has he ever climbed a mountain
against 180 guys who are all doping?

935
01:09:29,832 --> 01:09:31,800
Unfortunately, he's persistent.

936
01:09:31,876 --> 01:09:35,050
Who's he talking to? Emma O'Reilly.
You know what really upsets me?

937
01:09:35,129 --> 01:09:38,884
It's the disloyalty.
If she wants to dance, let's go.

938
01:09:38,966 --> 01:09:42,266
All I have to say is that
there were issues with other riders.

939
01:09:42,345 --> 01:09:46,100
It's not gonna take a brain surgeon
to figure out she's an alcoholic whore.

940
01:09:46,140 --> 01:09:48,893
And if that doesn't shut her up,
hit her with a lawsuit.

941
01:09:48,976 --> 01:09:51,070
And then another one after that.

942
01:09:51,145 --> 01:09:55,446
And then another one after that until
she shuts her fucking whore mouth!

943
01:09:55,566 --> 01:09:59,287
- And Betsy?
- Don't even talk to me about Betsy!

944
01:09:59,362 --> 01:10:03,287
I'd leave Frankie alone,
if he had any self-respect.

945
01:10:03,366 --> 01:10:05,664
Get him to put a muzzle
on his crazy bitch wife.

946
01:10:05,743 --> 01:10:08,667
The bigger problem, Lance,
is the Bob Hamman situation.

947
01:10:08,746 --> 01:10:11,420
They're threatening
to withhold your win bonus,

948
01:10:11,541 --> 01:10:14,294
the entire million bucks,
until they get a clarification.

949
01:10:14,377 --> 01:10:17,426
I have never tested positive!

950
01:10:17,547 --> 01:10:22,428
I spent three weeks in the saddle!
I won the race! I am owed that money!

951
01:10:22,552 --> 01:10:25,101
How fucking clear is that?!

952
01:10:25,179 --> 01:10:26,396
I get it, Lance.

953
01:10:27,557 --> 01:10:29,901
Sue David Walsh.

954
01:10:29,976 --> 01:10:32,900
And his crummy little English newspaper.

955
01:10:32,979 --> 01:10:35,323
Find out who he hangs out with,
who he travels with.

956
01:10:35,398 --> 01:10:38,698
Stonewall them. Block them.
Zero access.

957
01:10:38,776 --> 01:10:41,529
Call his publisher.
Offer him my new book.

958
01:10:41,612 --> 01:10:42,864
A new book?

959
01:10:42,947 --> 01:10:47,623
Create a conflict of interest. David
Walsh's book is not going to print.

960
01:10:47,660 --> 01:10:50,834
Not in the States. Not in my backyard.

961
01:10:50,913 --> 01:10:54,759
Because I'm Lance Armstrong
and he is fucking no one.

962
01:10:56,586 --> 01:10:59,681
I like this. I like somebody
trying to go faster than me.

963
01:10:59,756 --> 01:11:02,680
I like malignant cells
trying to take over my body.

964
01:11:02,759 --> 01:11:06,434
I like some fool trying to take me down.
Because I go faster.

965
01:11:06,554 --> 01:11:09,979
I don't die
and I will not be brought down.

966
01:11:16,814 --> 01:11:19,613
We know your wife is a source for Walsh.

967
01:11:20,610 --> 01:11:23,238
Look, Betsy said, "No comment."

968
01:11:24,238 --> 01:11:26,081
I got nothing to say.

969
01:11:27,325 --> 01:11:30,625
Bringing down Lance isn't
gonna help anyone's situation.

970
01:11:31,370 --> 01:11:34,169
Maybe you should remind
your wife of that.

971
01:11:37,376 --> 01:11:38,844
Hey, Charles.

972
01:11:38,920 --> 01:11:41,389
How is your little Irish friend?

973
01:11:41,422 --> 01:11:42,514
What?

974
01:11:42,590 --> 01:11:45,434
You know, that little fucking troll.
How is he?

975
01:12:04,153 --> 01:12:06,076
Lance. Lance.

976
01:12:07,448 --> 01:12:12,670
Have recent controversial allegations
upset your preparation in any way?

977
01:12:12,745 --> 01:12:16,921
Well, since the esteemed author
of these allegations is here today,

978
01:12:16,999 --> 01:12:18,876
I'd like to say one thing about them.

979
01:12:18,960 --> 01:12:23,887
Extraordinary allegations must be met
with extraordinary proof.

980
01:12:23,965 --> 01:12:26,388
- But what do you think...
- I'm not finished yet.

981
01:12:27,885 --> 01:12:31,640
Many, many journalists here today
have called me at home.

982
01:12:31,722 --> 01:12:37,070
They've read his work and they've said,
"Lance, I don't get it."

983
01:12:37,144 --> 01:12:38,862
"There's nothing in there."

984
01:12:38,938 --> 01:12:41,737
Mr Walsh here, he seems more interested

985
01:12:41,816 --> 01:12:48,119
in distracting from my foundation's
sole purpose which is to beat cancer.

986
01:12:48,948 --> 01:12:51,451
He seems more interested
in trying to sell books

987
01:12:51,576 --> 01:12:56,082
rather than the 20,000 people
who die every day from this disease.

988
01:12:56,163 --> 01:12:59,508
That's 7.6 million people annually.

989
01:12:59,584 --> 01:13:02,508
Let's let the cyclists
get back to cycling

990
01:13:02,587 --> 01:13:06,717
and let's all pay attention
and refocus on finding a cure

991
01:13:06,799 --> 01:13:08,301
and saving lives.

992
01:13:08,342 --> 01:13:09,514
Thank you.

993
01:13:16,350 --> 01:13:18,569
- David.
- Yeah.

994
01:13:18,644 --> 01:13:20,021
What is it, John?

995
01:13:20,104 --> 01:13:22,072
What just went on in there...

996
01:13:22,148 --> 01:13:27,621
Look, the thing is, having you with us
is making life difficult.

997
01:13:28,404 --> 01:13:31,749
If you don't let me in the car,
I can't report.

998
01:13:32,617 --> 01:13:36,292
I'm sorry, David.
You know how these things are.

999
01:13:36,370 --> 01:13:40,876
We all drink from the same trough,
and if one of us spits in the soup...

1000
01:13:40,958 --> 01:13:43,507
John... don't you find it odd

1001
01:13:43,586 --> 01:13:47,056
that we're being asked
to drink soup from a trough?

1002
01:13:48,633 --> 01:13:50,055
- Look...
- What?!

1003
01:13:50,134 --> 01:13:54,935
I used to believe in this sport
and Armstrong is killing it!

1004
01:14:17,078 --> 01:14:19,172
Members of the jury,

1005
01:14:19,246 --> 01:14:22,546
you are here to consider
a case for libel

1006
01:14:22,625 --> 01:14:27,882
brought by Mr Armstrong against
The Sunday <i>Times</i> newspaper.

1007
01:14:27,964 --> 01:14:30,012
This is not
a judicial proceeding,

1008
01:14:30,091 --> 01:14:33,391
this is a court of arbitration
in relation to the claim by Tailwind

1009
01:14:33,511 --> 01:14:37,061
against SCA
for payments to Mr Armstrong.

1010
01:14:37,139 --> 01:14:40,564
Emma O'Reilly has identified that
at one point in the Tour de France

1011
01:14:40,643 --> 01:14:43,021
that you asked her to dispose
of some syringes.

1012
01:14:43,104 --> 01:14:46,950
- Are you familiar with her statement?
- I am familiar with that statement.

1013
01:14:46,983 --> 01:14:49,987
- Is there any truth to that statement?
- Absolutely not.

1014
01:14:50,069 --> 01:14:54,290
In interview on Irish radio recently,
Mr Walsh,

1015
01:14:54,365 --> 01:14:58,996
you acknowledged that you had
no "smoking gun".

1016
01:14:59,078 --> 01:15:03,879
I meant I had
no single piece of evidence

1017
01:15:03,958 --> 01:15:07,838
which of itself rendered
all others unnecessary.

1018
01:15:07,920 --> 01:15:10,548
Do you recall
while others were in the room

1019
01:15:10,631 --> 01:15:13,726
that a doctor asked if you'd taken
performance enhancing drugs?

1020
01:15:13,801 --> 01:15:15,053
Absolutely not.

1021
01:15:15,136 --> 01:15:19,141
So the hospital room incident
affirmatively did not take place?

1022
01:15:19,223 --> 01:15:21,601
- Correct.
- OK.

1023
01:15:21,684 --> 01:15:24,028
How could it have happened?

1024
01:15:24,103 --> 01:15:27,733
And you have never taken them in
connection with your cycling career?

1025
01:15:27,815 --> 01:15:31,285
How could it if I've never taken
performance enhancing drugs?

1026
01:15:31,360 --> 01:15:34,284
And that includes any substance
that's ever been banned?

1027
01:15:34,363 --> 01:15:35,910
How many times do I have to say it?

1028
01:15:35,990 --> 01:15:39,085
OK. We're just trying
to make things clear.

1029
01:15:39,160 --> 01:15:43,586
Nothing but an amalgam of
uncorroborated hearsay and speculation.

1030
01:15:43,622 --> 01:15:46,967
Gossip from embittered
former colleagues and employees.

1031
01:15:47,043 --> 01:15:50,092
The best tactic is not to slander,
defame,

1032
01:15:50,171 --> 01:15:52,344
and I'm not here to bite
the hand that feeds.

1033
01:15:52,381 --> 01:15:55,055
My approach has always been
to support clean racing...

1034
01:15:55,593 --> 01:15:57,266
support clean sport.

1035
01:15:57,344 --> 01:16:00,894
Lacking the evidence
to make direct allegations,

1036
01:16:00,973 --> 01:16:04,443
The <i>Sunday</i> Times
seeks instead to slander.

1037
01:16:04,560 --> 01:16:06,813
"The <i>Sunday</i> Times
has confirmed to Mr Armstrong"

1038
01:16:06,896 --> 01:16:10,275
that it never intended
to accuse him of being guilty

1039
01:16:10,357 --> 01:16:12,735
"of taking any
performance enhancing drugs."

1040
01:16:12,818 --> 01:16:15,913
"In acknowledgement of the distress
we have caused Mr Armstrong"

1041
01:16:15,988 --> 01:16:18,867
with these baseless accusations,

1042
01:16:18,949 --> 01:16:22,749
"we are making a payment of
compensation to the value of £300,000."

1043
01:16:22,828 --> 01:16:25,832
In conclusion,
we find that SCA Promotions

1044
01:16:25,915 --> 01:16:30,512
is now liable to pay Armstrong
$5 million plus interest,

1045
01:16:30,586 --> 01:16:32,634
plus legal costs.

1046
01:16:32,713 --> 01:16:35,512
- Congratulations.
- I appreciate your response, Bob.

1047
01:16:35,591 --> 01:16:38,891
You'll get your prize money.
Only it's all on oath now.

1048
01:16:38,969 --> 01:16:42,269
This ain't like telling little white
lies to journalists any more.

1049
01:16:42,348 --> 01:16:44,897
Without prejudice,
I know your boy was cheating.

1050
01:16:44,975 --> 01:16:46,522
If he gets caught, I'll be back.

1051
01:16:46,602 --> 01:16:49,902
Without prejudice, this time next year
Lance will be retired.

1052
01:16:49,980 --> 01:16:52,108
After that, nothing can touch him.

1053
01:16:52,191 --> 01:16:54,114
<i>Lance Armstrong, again,</i>

1054
01:16:54,193 --> 01:16:56,662
<i>has broken every one of his rivals
one by one.</i>

1055
01:16:56,737 --> 01:17:00,241
<i>This man has written a very special
piece of cycling history.</i>

1056
01:17:09,708 --> 01:17:12,507
<i>Lance Armstrong
salutes his public</i>

1057
01:17:12,586 --> 01:17:15,089
<i>for the last time in a Tour de France.</i>

1058
01:17:15,172 --> 01:17:20,269
The only man to have stood in
this position on seven occasions.

1059
01:17:20,344 --> 01:17:24,520
<i>The last thing I'll say to the
people who don't believe in cycling,</i>

1060
01:17:24,598 --> 01:17:28,228
<i>the cynics, the sceptics.
I'm sorry you can't dream big.</i>

1061
01:17:28,310 --> 01:17:31,314
<i>This is a great sporting event.
You should stand up and believe.</i>

1062
01:17:31,397 --> 01:17:34,901
<i>You should believe in these athletes,
in these people.</i>

1063
01:17:34,942 --> 01:17:37,365
<i>I'm gonna be a fan of the Tour
for the rest of my life.</i>

1064
01:17:37,444 --> 01:17:39,822
<i>No secrets
this is a hard sporting event.</i>

1065
01:17:39,905 --> 01:17:41,373
<i>Hard work wins it.</i>

1066
01:17:41,448 --> 01:17:45,624
<i>Viva Le Tour.</i>

1067
01:18:00,968 --> 01:18:04,188
So is it fair to say that
life in retirement is pretty sweet?

1068
01:18:05,806 --> 01:18:10,277
Well, I'm retired from professional
cycling, but I'm not retired.

1069
01:18:10,352 --> 01:18:12,354
I'm doing the New York marathon.

1070
01:18:12,438 --> 01:18:16,739
I'm getting back into triathlons,
and I'm still very busy with LiveStrong.

1071
01:18:16,817 --> 01:18:20,617
So there's still a lot of challenges
for me... for anyone.

1072
01:18:20,696 --> 01:18:24,291
- Do you miss cycling?
- Do I miss the pain? Absolutely not.

1073
01:18:24,366 --> 01:18:26,869
- Not tempted to come back?
- Absolutely not.

1074
01:18:26,952 --> 01:18:30,547
I think one measure of a successful
career is knowing when it's over.

1075
01:18:30,581 --> 01:18:32,925
And this race is run. I'm happy.

1076
01:18:36,295 --> 01:18:38,889
Just sip it. It's Alpha H2O water.

1077
01:18:38,964 --> 01:18:42,764
For impeccable taste that finishes
smooth and strong...

1078
01:18:43,719 --> 01:18:45,813
choose Scotch whisky.

1079
01:18:48,182 --> 01:18:50,685
You'll always finish number one.

1080
01:18:50,768 --> 01:18:52,645
This shit tastes like apple juice.

1081
01:18:52,728 --> 01:18:55,823
It not only tastes great,
it's good for you.

1082
01:18:59,068 --> 01:19:02,163
Cut! Let's go again.

1083
01:19:08,244 --> 01:19:09,621
Tammy!

1084
01:19:10,287 --> 01:19:11,163
- Yep.
- Yeah.

1085
01:19:16,585 --> 01:19:18,713
<i>Everybody's out here today</i>

1086
01:19:18,796 --> 01:19:20,514
<i>to see the victory of Floyd Landis</i>

1087
01:19:20,589 --> 01:19:24,344
<i>making another little piece
of American cycling history.</i>

1088
01:19:24,426 --> 01:19:29,353
<i>It's the third American to win
in 21 years of the Tour de France.</i>

1089
01:19:38,148 --> 01:19:40,071
Hold <i>on.</i>

1090
01:19:40,150 --> 01:19:41,527
Hold on.

1091
01:19:41,610 --> 01:19:44,363
- Can I come in?
- Man, hold on.

1092
01:19:45,572 --> 01:19:46,368
John.

1093
01:19:49,660 --> 01:19:51,913
Sorry, I wasn't expecting...

1094
01:19:52,788 --> 01:19:53,880
anyone.

1095
01:19:54,707 --> 01:19:55,924
Floyd.

1096
01:19:56,000 --> 01:19:57,092
Here.

1097
01:19:58,085 --> 01:19:59,883
There is a problem.

1098
01:19:59,962 --> 01:20:01,430
Oh, yeah?

1099
01:20:03,549 --> 01:20:05,972
With your urine specimen.

1100
01:20:09,054 --> 01:20:11,978
It has tested positive for testosterone.

1101
01:20:15,019 --> 01:20:18,990
Man, that is so unfair.

1102
01:20:20,149 --> 01:20:22,527
The Tour de France winner, Floyd Landis,

1103
01:20:22,609 --> 01:20:25,237
has been speaking about
his positive drugs test.

1104
01:20:26,822 --> 01:20:29,871
Calm down, gentlemen.
Calm down! Calm down!

1105
01:20:29,950 --> 01:20:32,544
- Did you dope, Floyd?
- Please. Sir?

1106
01:20:32,619 --> 01:20:36,374
Floyd, have you ever taken
performance enhancing drugs?

1107
01:20:37,374 --> 01:20:41,254
<i>Floyd, have you ever taken
performance enhancing drugs?</i>

1108
01:20:45,716 --> 01:20:50,096
<i>Er, I'm going to say no to that.</i>

1109
01:20:51,805 --> 01:20:53,603
That's enough!

1110
01:20:54,558 --> 01:20:58,028
<i>That's enough!
Press conference is over!</i>

1111
01:20:59,021 --> 01:21:00,648
<i>That's enough!</i>

1112
01:21:13,660 --> 01:21:17,415
Now once upon a time, after
receiving some particularly bad news

1113
01:21:17,539 --> 01:21:22,966
I took a ride on my bike up to
a place known as Dead Man's Hole.

1114
01:21:23,754 --> 01:21:28,885
It's a mineral pool,
cut into towering cliffs of limestone.

1115
01:21:28,967 --> 01:21:32,813
And it's so far out into the Texas hill
country there's hardly any address.

1116
01:21:32,888 --> 01:21:37,359
And as I stood there,
at the edge of the cliff, I could see...

1117
01:21:38,685 --> 01:21:40,687
it's a long way down.

1118
01:22:24,440 --> 01:22:26,442
So why am I here, really?

1119
01:22:31,530 --> 01:22:32,873
I'm coming back.

1120
01:22:34,783 --> 01:22:37,036
- No.
- What?

1121
01:22:38,454 --> 01:22:41,298
- It's a bad idea.
- Why?

1122
01:22:44,293 --> 01:22:46,421
Because you're old, Lance.

1123
01:22:47,171 --> 01:22:50,391
It's stupid. It's vain.

1124
01:22:50,507 --> 01:22:53,431
You walked away as a winner.
Don't fuck that up.

1125
01:22:55,220 --> 01:22:56,938
So you're saying you won't help me?

1126
01:22:59,975 --> 01:23:02,728
If you're crazy enough to do it,
of course I will help you.

1127
01:23:02,811 --> 01:23:07,066
But remember, 16 years ago, you were
young and fast. You were frightening.

1128
01:23:07,149 --> 01:23:10,198
And now you got kids out there
who are young and fast.

1129
01:23:10,277 --> 01:23:11,995
Yeah, I'm still hungry.

1130
01:23:12,070 --> 01:23:14,539
- And you think they're not?
- I'm still hungry.

1131
01:23:16,200 --> 01:23:19,875
You wanna give them a victory over
a seven-time winning champion?

1132
01:23:19,953 --> 01:23:21,955
The only one, by the way.

1133
01:23:24,082 --> 01:23:26,585
We got away with it for a long time.

1134
01:23:29,796 --> 01:23:31,594
I may not be the oldest guy
in the field,

1135
01:23:31,673 --> 01:23:33,391
but I'm definitely not the youngest.

1136
01:23:33,509 --> 01:23:36,513
But I'm coming back.
I'm coming back to compete.

1137
01:23:36,595 --> 01:23:40,520
Under the most comprehensive
drug testing program ever.

1138
01:23:40,599 --> 01:23:44,729
I'm coming back to remind you all
about the LiveStrong message.

1139
01:23:44,811 --> 01:23:49,282
I'm donating my entire salary
to cancer research.

1140
01:23:49,358 --> 01:23:52,828
Now there's something I once said
which is, "The pain is temporary."

1141
01:23:52,903 --> 01:23:55,873
"Quitting, that's forever."

1142
01:23:55,948 --> 01:23:58,701
And I guess
I just don't know how to quit.

1143
01:24:09,503 --> 01:24:12,302
To stand here before you tonight

1144
01:24:12,381 --> 01:24:16,352
is an experience that fills me
with mixed emotion.

1145
01:24:18,220 --> 01:24:22,691
I stand before you an innocent man.
I am not a cheat.

1146
01:24:22,766 --> 01:24:25,064
I have not done
the things that they said I did

1147
01:24:25,143 --> 01:24:28,022
and I have not taken
the things that they said I took.

1148
01:24:28,105 --> 01:24:31,735
All I ask for is an honest inquiry
and a fair hearing

1149
01:24:31,817 --> 01:24:35,822
and I believe the truth will be
established beyond doubt.

1150
01:24:36,947 --> 01:24:40,076
I promise you, with your support

1151
01:24:40,158 --> 01:24:44,288
I will fight these terrible slurs
upon our name and prove to the world

1152
01:24:44,371 --> 01:24:47,591
they breed an honest boy
in Farmersville, Pennsylvania.

1153
01:25:18,780 --> 01:25:19,952
How you doing?

1154
01:25:23,160 --> 01:25:25,583
Lance, this is Alberto Contador.

1155
01:25:26,997 --> 01:25:28,670
What?

1156
01:25:49,394 --> 01:25:51,067
Hello, Lance.

1157
01:25:53,899 --> 01:25:55,242
Hi.

1158
01:25:57,110 --> 01:25:59,454
<i>So am I going to race again?</i>

1159
01:25:59,571 --> 01:26:01,039
What?

1160
01:26:01,156 --> 01:26:03,329
<i>Am I going to race again?</i>

1161
01:26:04,951 --> 01:26:06,953
I was on your team.

1162
01:26:09,039 --> 01:26:13,169
Yeah, you're right.
You were on my team. I know that.

1163
01:26:13,251 --> 01:26:15,424
We were on a team together.

1164
01:26:15,545 --> 01:26:18,173
And I worked hard for the team,
didn't I?

1165
01:26:18,256 --> 01:26:21,100
- Yeah, you worked very hard, Floyd.
- <i>I</i> mean I...

1166
01:26:21,176 --> 01:26:25,181
did everything I had to do, right?
Everything. Everything.

1167
01:26:25,263 --> 01:26:28,437
We all did, Floyd, you know, and...

1168
01:26:30,602 --> 01:26:31,774
we won.

1169
01:26:31,853 --> 01:26:34,276
<i>It was a good time.</i>

1170
01:26:34,356 --> 01:26:37,576
Yeah, sure. Sure it was.
It was a great time.

1171
01:26:37,651 --> 01:26:39,449
We were the best.

1172
01:26:40,737 --> 01:26:42,739
We were the blue train.

1173
01:26:46,326 --> 01:26:48,545
But where am I now?

1174
01:26:48,620 --> 01:26:51,373
Lance, where am I?
Where am I supposed to go now?

1175
01:26:51,456 --> 01:26:55,882
<i>After all that I did, after all
I achieved, after all that I gave,</i>

1176
01:26:55,961 --> 01:26:57,884
<i>is this just me now?</i>

1177
01:26:57,963 --> 01:27:01,342
Is this what I deserve now?

1178
01:27:01,425 --> 01:27:03,598
<i>What am I going to do, Lance?</i>

1179
01:27:03,677 --> 01:27:06,726
<i>That's what I ask myself. This or that?</i>

1180
01:27:06,805 --> 01:27:09,604
<i>This or that? This or that?</i>

1181
01:27:10,559 --> 01:27:12,186
What is it going to be?

1182
01:27:12,853 --> 01:27:15,151
- <i>What do you want, Floyd?
- I wanna be in your team!</i>

1183
01:27:18,066 --> 01:27:20,319
I wanna be in your team.

1184
01:27:21,403 --> 01:27:22,620
<i>Again.</i>

1185
01:27:23,780 --> 01:27:25,453
Well, that's difficult.

1186
01:27:28,702 --> 01:27:30,375
You got caught.

1187
01:27:31,288 --> 01:27:33,290
You tested positive.

1188
01:27:49,139 --> 01:27:53,360
I have to go, Floyd.
I have people waiting for me.

1189
01:27:53,435 --> 01:27:57,360
Of course, you got people...
you have people waiting for you.

1190
01:27:57,439 --> 01:27:59,112
<i>Is there anything else?</i>

1191
01:28:02,861 --> 01:28:04,863
No. Good luck, Lance.

1192
01:28:17,459 --> 01:28:19,632
<i>The face of Lance Armstrong,</i>

1193
01:28:19,711 --> 01:28:21,884
<i>who's come back to the Tour de France</i>

1194
01:28:21,963 --> 01:28:25,217
<i>after a four-year retirement,
can still climb like this.</i>

1195
01:29:08,802 --> 01:29:12,523
<i>Contador rode to his
second Tour de France win Sunday.</i>

1196
01:29:12,597 --> 01:29:14,895
<i>American Lance Armstrong came in third.</i>

1197
01:29:14,975 --> 01:29:17,069
<i>Contador and Armstrong were team-mates.</i>

1198
01:29:17,143 --> 01:29:20,943
<i>This year's champion opened up about
differences with the seven-time winner.</i>

1199
01:29:20,981 --> 01:29:23,860
<i>Contador said he and Armstrong
are totally incompatible.</i>

1200
01:29:42,794 --> 01:29:44,387
Third.

1201
01:30:02,606 --> 01:30:03,607
<i>Come in.</i>

1202
01:30:06,276 --> 01:30:07,949
Come on in. Take a seat.

1203
01:30:09,613 --> 01:30:14,039
My name is Floyd Landis.
I'm a professional cyclist.

1204
01:30:14,117 --> 01:30:16,791
I know who you are.

1205
01:30:16,870 --> 01:30:20,795
As you may know, I've been accused of...
certain things

1206
01:30:20,874 --> 01:30:24,549
and I've been vigorously
contesting those accusations.

1207
01:30:24,628 --> 01:30:27,006
My perspective has changed

1208
01:30:27,088 --> 01:30:30,513
and I don't want to contest
those accusations any more.

1209
01:30:32,093 --> 01:30:33,390
I want to confess.

1210
01:30:34,429 --> 01:30:35,851
You wanna confess?

1211
01:30:36,723 --> 01:30:37,975
Yes.

1212
01:30:41,269 --> 01:30:43,067
Everything.

1213
01:30:45,523 --> 01:30:49,653
In no less than 1,000 pages of evidence
and testimony, including lab tests

1214
01:30:49,736 --> 01:30:52,205
and sworn statements
by Armstrong's team-mates,

1215
01:30:52,280 --> 01:30:56,410
the 41-year-old icon is painted as
both a user and a supplier for the team

1216
01:30:56,534 --> 01:30:58,207
of performance enhancing drugs.

1217
01:30:58,286 --> 01:31:01,631
He's also described as the leader
of what the USADA calls

1218
01:31:01,706 --> 01:31:05,006
the most sophisticated and
professionalized doping program

1219
01:31:05,085 --> 01:31:07,087
in recent sports history.

1220
01:31:24,354 --> 01:31:26,652
Lifetime?

1221
01:31:26,731 --> 01:31:28,574
I got a lifetime ban?

1222
01:31:31,361 --> 01:31:32,578
Bullshit.

1223
01:31:32,654 --> 01:31:36,284
I'm gonna help you clean up cycling
and I'm gonna compete again.

1224
01:31:36,366 --> 01:31:39,415
I mean, maybe I'll run
in the Chicago marathon

1225
01:31:39,536 --> 01:31:42,415
or I'll just race with my kids
in Austin.

1226
01:31:42,539 --> 01:31:46,669
But unless you're coming to me
with this promise, why am I here?

1227
01:31:48,503 --> 01:31:53,134
The most sophisticated doping program
in the history of sport.

1228
01:31:53,216 --> 01:31:54,433
Really?

1229
01:31:54,551 --> 01:31:56,553
East Germany ring a bell?

1230
01:31:57,512 --> 01:32:00,186
You guys don't hold
the keys to my redemption.

1231
01:32:00,265 --> 01:32:02,814
The only person who can do that...

1232
01:32:02,892 --> 01:32:05,020
Me. This guy right here.

1233
01:32:05,061 --> 01:32:07,439
And I can clean up the whole sport
without your help

1234
01:32:07,564 --> 01:32:09,737
because you're a bunch of amateurs.

1235
01:32:11,526 --> 01:32:14,621
I can't get up in the morning
unless I have something to live for.

1236
01:32:14,696 --> 01:32:16,994
That's training, competition.

1237
01:32:17,073 --> 01:32:19,667
I'm not training because I enjoy it,

1238
01:32:19,701 --> 01:32:22,375
I'm not training
because I wanna stay fit.

1239
01:32:22,454 --> 01:32:26,084
It's my whole...

1240
01:32:27,876 --> 01:32:29,719
my whole life.

1241
01:32:31,504 --> 01:32:33,506
It's what I do.

1242
01:32:42,265 --> 01:32:44,063
It's what I do.

1243
01:32:49,272 --> 01:32:53,277
That's all for now, Mr Armstrong.
Thank you for your time.

1244
01:33:13,088 --> 01:33:16,809
<i>Lance, it's Bill. It's about Nike.</i>

1245
01:33:16,883 --> 01:33:19,352
<i>They thought you ought to know
before they go public.</i>

1246
01:33:19,427 --> 01:33:21,805
<i>They wanna stand by you, no question,</i>

1247
01:33:21,888 --> 01:33:25,017
<i>but it's just, I mean,
now's not so good, right?</i>

1248
01:33:25,100 --> 01:33:28,946
<i>So, what they're proposing
is a kind of separation,</i>

1249
01:33:29,020 --> 01:33:31,193
<i>Which I know sounds
like they're ditching you,</i>

1250
01:33:31,272 --> 01:33:32,524
<i>which in a sense they are.</i>

1251
01:33:32,607 --> 01:33:35,110
<i>Their statement will say
that it is with great sadness</i>

1252
01:33:35,193 --> 01:33:37,287
<i>and I think we can take something
from that.</i>

1253
01:33:37,362 --> 01:33:42,084
<i>But, great sadness that we have
terminated our contract with him</i>

1254
01:33:42,158 --> 01:33:45,378
<i>due to the seemingly
insurmountable evidence.</i>

1255
01:33:45,912 --> 01:33:48,461
<i>The disgraced cyclist
Lance Armstrong</i>

1256
01:33:48,540 --> 01:33:50,793
<i>is said to be preparing to tell all.</i>

1257
01:33:50,875 --> 01:33:54,425
<i>He's chosen a confessional,
Oprah Winfrey's television show.</i>

1258
01:33:54,504 --> 01:33:58,179
<i>And if the rumours are
true, he'll confess for the first time.</i>

1259
01:33:58,258 --> 01:34:00,807
<i>Lance Armstrong
may finally be coming clean</i>

1260
01:34:00,885 --> 01:34:03,263
<i>about his use
of performance-enhancing drugs.</i>

1261
01:34:03,346 --> 01:34:05,940
<i>Did you ever take
banned substances</i>

1262
01:34:06,015 --> 01:34:07,938
<i>to enhance your cycling performance?</i>

1263
01:34:08,017 --> 01:34:09,064
Yes.

1264
01:34:12,230 --> 01:34:16,280
<i>Yes or no. Was one of those
banned substances EPO?</i>

1265
01:34:16,359 --> 01:34:17,531
<i>Yes.</i>

1266
01:34:17,610 --> 01:34:19,658
<i>Did you ever blood dope,</i>

1267
01:34:19,737 --> 01:34:23,116
<i>or use blood transfusions to enhance
your cycling performance?</i>

1268
01:34:23,199 --> 01:34:24,542
<i>Yes.</i>

1269
01:34:25,660 --> 01:34:29,415
<i>Did you ever use any other
banned substances, like testosterone,</i>

1270
01:34:29,539 --> 01:34:32,418
<i>cortisone or human growth hormone?</i>

1271
01:34:32,500 --> 01:34:33,342
<i>Yes.</i>

1272
01:34:33,418 --> 01:34:39,346
<i>Yes or no. In all seven of
your Tour de France victories</i>

1273
01:34:39,382 --> 01:34:42,682
<i>did you ever take banned substances
or blood dope?</i>

1274
01:34:42,760 --> 01:34:43,886
<i>Yes.</i>

1275
01:35:03,364 --> 01:35:04,707
<i>It's an epic story.</i>

1276
01:35:04,741 --> 01:35:08,462
<i>This story was so perfect
for so long.</i>

1277
01:35:08,578 --> 01:35:10,580
<i>You win the Tour de France seven times,</i>

1278
01:35:10,663 --> 01:35:12,882
<i>you have a happy marriage,
you have children.</i>

1279
01:35:12,957 --> 01:35:17,758
<i>I mean,
it was just this mythic perfect story.</i>

1280
01:35:17,837 --> 01:35:19,009
<i>Yes.</i>

1281
01:35:21,090 --> 01:35:22,512
