Back
In 1996, 24-year-old Lance Armstrong was ranked the number one
cyclist in the world. But that October, the Golden Boy of American
cycling was sidelined by advanced testicular cancer that had spread
to his lungs and brain. His chance for recovery was as low as 20
per cent, but Armstrong embarked on the most aggressive form of
chemotherapy available and underwent surgery - including brain
surgery - to remove cancer that the treatments could not reach.
Five months after his diagnosis he resumed training under a cloud
of uncertainty. This is the story of a journey, from inauspicious
beginnings through triumph, tragedy, transformation and
transcendence. It is a story of early success, near fatal cancer,
survival, recovery, victory in the 1999, 2000 and 2001 Tour de
France, the Sydney Olympics, marriage and first-time fatherhood.
Filled with the physical, emotional and spiritual details of his
recovery, "It's Not About the Bike" traces the remarkable journey
of this great athlete to a singularly inspiring appreciation of
life lived to its fullest.
