Lance Armstrong won the Tour de France seven consecutive years after being treated for metastatic testicular cancer. He had a army of followers: Americans soaked with jingoistic pride, cycling enthusiasts who marveled over his ferocity taking on a mountain, and then those around the world who found him to be a symbol of hope.
It is said, each betrayal begins with trust.
In 2013, the pyramid scheme Lance Armstrong built was higher than any Parisian mountain he conquered on his bike -- and the fall was one for the ages which was on full display for a national audience on the Oprah Winfrey Show.
At the time, ESPN senior writer Bonnie D. Ford wrote:
It was about what it is always about with Lance Armstrong: hubris and control, the same tightly intertwined strands of his DNA that convinced him he would never be exposed, that the dozens and dozens of people privy to his pyramid scheme would remain muzzled forever.
It was desperate. And huge chunks of it ranged from disingenuous to unbelievable. There was far too much defiance, contradiction of evidence and abdication of responsibility to respond to in one column ...
Nor a one-part documentary. Part 2, and the final part, of ESPN's 30 for 30 documentary "LANCE".
