Lance Armstrong was once one of the most powerful brands in sports and philanthropy. His personal victories over cancer and his triumphs on the bicycle inspired people around the world. But a sprawling investigation into whether he cheated recently reached a breaking point, as former teammates and associates turned over evidence that led to Armstrong being stripped of his titles. We examine the scope and impact of Armstrong's downfall.

As a avid cyclist and triathlete I am saddened that Cycling has to suffer from the doping scandals. However, I would like to see the same vigor in busting athletes in other American sports, namely football.
Hi,
I was following your program. LA built an admirable thing on a lie.
- he could really redeem him self if he recognize he was doped
- he set a very bad example that winning at all costs may be OK if you do admirable things.
- I should add that even if probably most the pro cyclists are taking PED, it by no means level off the ranking. Every one has an individual response to these products exactly as for medicines. Some get more benefice more than others.
Can't more agree with you. Football players are under steroids and everybody seem happy with that !
Tell me about this a little bit....
