Lance Armstrong was an American hero dominating a sport were through history Europeans had always led. No competition proved European dominance more that the biggest of them all The Tour de France. Greg LeMond's two wins were the only by an American since 1903, Armstrong would go on to win seven in a row. Perhaps most notably he had fought back from cancer three years before wining his first Tour de France, thus becoming a beacon for fellow cancer survivors.
The documentary looks at the entire career of Armstrong and the events that lead to him and his team setting up one of the most complex doping regimes imaginable. We hear from those who brought the case to light, Paul Kimmage who's claims against Armstrong went unnoticed for years, Frankie and Betsy Andreu once close friends then demonized by Lance and Emma O'Reilly a former masseuse slandered and discredited by him.
