Lance Edward Armstrong is a former professional cyclist who gained fame for winning seven consecutive Tour de France titles from 1999 to 2005.
He overcame testicular cancer and founded the Livestrong Foundation to support cancer survivors.
Armstrong's career was marred by doping allegations, which he denied for years.
In 2012, the USADA concluded that Armstrong had used performance-enhancing drugs throughout his career.
He was subsequently stripped of his titles and banned from competitive cycling.
In 2013, Armstrong admitted to doping, leading to legal consequences and damaged reputation.
Despite the controversy, he remains a significant figure in cycling history and cancer advocacy.
