Lance, you are my father's hero! Its been 7 years since he was diagnosed with a rare, but beatable cancer that nearly cost him his leg. I think the only way my family survived the ordeal was by reading your books and looking for the positive outcome instead of the negative results. to this day I still see him proudly wearing his Livestong band. In June of last year we went to Paris and as we were walking back to our apartment toward Jardin des Tuileries, and then he realised that he was standing on the place de la concord the final part of the tour de France. I have never seen him in such awe. It was an amazing moment for me to share with him, something I never would have imagined possible 7 years ago.
Thank you for never quitting even when the odds were against... you are truley a great man to look up to. all the best :)

Lance, finally the " investigation" is over. I lived in Austin for two years during your younger racing days. You were/are an amazing athlete and I will miss following you by watching the tour de France each year...you were so exciting to watch each year. I wish you the best for your next endeavor.
I continue to wear the Livestrong band, along with my daughter who has survived brain cancer, and lives in San Antonio, Texas.

- Here's the thing - either Lance did it and beat everyone else who was doing it, or he didn't do it and still beat everyone else who was doing it. Bottom line, there was no one better. And I'm disgusted that our government is using my money to waste time chasing this hero while the people who destroyed our country's economy are being rewarded. Lance has done more for fighting cancer and inspiring millions than the ACS and Oprah have done combined. LIVESTRONG is the single greatest weapon in the battle against cancer and would not exist without Lance.

- Looking for a bike mag after letting "Bicycle" run out because of stupid article on Lance. I wrote them; Lance is the reason I got into cycling and then your magazine. I started watching the Tour because of Lance. Now these years later, I've done four or five centuries and get the fun of riding every week. Also; my wife is a five time cancer survivor and we have all the books. Some people pass through life and leave such a big foot print; a lot of folks can't see across it.

You have long been my son's hero. He is an avid cycling fan. I support you in your battles against the press wholeheartedly. My husband of 47 years died of colo-rectal cancer that had metastasis to the lungs, liver and a large rectal tumor. He suffered in silence for over a year, refusing to go to a Dr. When he was diagnosed, and had surgery for a blockage, he decided to do chemotherapy. At age 74, and in an emaciated condition, with the cancer growing rapidly, the chemo was devastating. After 3 wks. of chemo, the Dr. told him the cancer was stronger than the drugs.
In all the time he had left at home(2 months), he refused to take pain meds.. He said the said the cancer pain he could handle, the chemo no!
My son just gave me your book to read:It's All About the Bike. You should write more cancer related books. You are also a great writer. I now will enjoy watching the Tour de France, with a better understanding. As for cancer, I hope very soon, to volunteer to visit children in hospitals and my two year goal is to train my Sheltie, "Bruce" to be a certified therapy dog and visit the children afflicted with this horrible disease. May you always be blessed. - Posted by Nancy Lee Paterson on Sep 5th, 2011.

Lance,
I am following the investigation and I am so angry. "Will you leave this man alone." Of course you aren't sitting back and taking it, your lawyers must be the best, but that you have to do this at this time of your life after all you have accomplished and the good you have done and are still doing. I think someone has forgotten that cancer almost took your life and you won that stage in life!!!! I started watching my dvd's of the tour de france again. When I watched the tours live, I never thought of doping. And as the years went on so many cyclists have been brought down. I watched the world championship in Norway, where you came out of the Peleton like a bullet and won. Then your comeback in 1999, was awesome. I'm watching 2000 --Mt. Ventoux is the next stage. How I wished you had taken that one from Pantani . But you know that you conquered that mountain--it was yours. As I'm watching you ride, there is a mantra running through my mind , " He didn't take performance enhancing substances; he is a champion and a strong team leader; he is a champion because he worked and trained hard. Look at that power, look at the face of concentration and determination." Then on the podium, holding up your little baby, Luke, for this miracle child to share in his Dad's achievement. To me, standing on the podium in the yellow jersey with your children by your side says it all!!!! I am just one small bleep in the thousands of people on and off the bike who support your innocence. Our country should be proud to have an athlete of your caliber as an icon of the United States. Your dignity shines through as you weather yet another storm--you will always be our champion on an off the bike. - Support provided by Carole on Aug 8th, 2011.

I was very pleased to see the article about Floyd Landis making a couple of fake twitter accounts to smear Lance. It was very happily pointed out that this would definately go against Landis and gives creedance to the fact that Landis is jealous of Lance and will do anything to discredit him. Of course, we who back Lance, never
doubted it for a minute. Landis has shot himself in the foot and his plan has backfired and is unravelling before his very eyes. Hang in there Lance. This information
will also discredit the US government in their hopes of bringing you down. - Posted by sharon Malette on Jun 30th, 2011.

Lance, you're an inspiration. It goes beyond the cyclinglegend that you are. Keep doing what you're doing. You are the reason people get up in the morning. I think it's great how much energy you put into the fight against cancer.
You're being accused of doping, and I have no idea what kind of effect it has on you, I can only imagine. But there's no doubt in my mind that it's nothing more than accusations. You are the, only, seven-time Tour de France winner. I guess some people can't handle that and they find the need to destroy "Lance Armstrong". DON'T LET THEM! I am honored to live in the age where I have seen you dominate the Tour de France, seen you become the inspiration of many people and seen you become one of the greatest (cycling)athletes ever.
I had this great movie-like peptalk in my mind, now that I'm nearly done, it doesn't look like that at all. Well, I'm just trying to show my support.
Livestrong!

Lance thanks for the inspiration thru your never say die and keep moving attitude thru your cancer battle.
Thanks for the Awsome 7 Tours De France and a bit of insight into the commitment, dedication and work required to be a Pro cyclist I dont think there is an athlete in any sport that suffers thru pain more and for longer periods of time than the Pro Cyclist.
I stiil believe that you was born with a genitic gift and you have the persavearance to push harder and father than others, and this exceptional drive is what you thrive on, I am amazed at all the people who failed these tests passed by yourself (on a more frequent occasion) now simply want to drag you down as well. With out Lance Armstrong a numver of these riders never would have been heard of by the casual cycling fan.
Thank You Lance...
Live Strong

He has done so much for cancer patients as well as the sport of cycling. HOW DARE ANYONE attack him. I will LIVESTRONG because of my great Doctors and Lance Armstrong.

Stay strong, Lance. We support you. The man you have become can stand and face the world with pride and confidence, knowing that the picture of the man that is being painted by the press is a figment of someone's imagination. Lance Armstrong, man of compassion, courage, humor, etc. in the quiet of the night, can rest with a peaceful spirit, knowing what is true.

Lance on a earlier statement to you I did not go back and look at the spelling! Sorry about that, I was really fired up about accusations against you! Like I did say before you are a hell of a cyclist! You beat all the odds with Testicular Cancer. You could've died. But you fought against every odd they gave you. To me, I guess I'm a lot like you I can be cocky! But anyways, like I said earlier on May 22nd. You are the best and will continue to hold the The Tour de France championships!!! Larry Hamilton is pissed because he got caught doing something he was not supposed to be doing (doping) instead of being a man and admitting to his wrongful doing. Larry decided he would just start making up rumors about you and the rest of the team! His story to Scott on 60 minutes, Larry could never look him in the eye nor could he think of correct dates of this so happening! You were tested over and over again just because you are a self driven person that loves to win! Like before you are and always be the best cycler ever! You said it yourself "THE TESTS DO NOT LIE!" You will be proven innocent of all charges! Like we have always seen you in the past, keep your head up! I will still buy the foundations products and I will still wear them proud! From my yellow Jersey to my Black and Yellow Oakley Sunglasses! Plus all my other shirts and LiveStrong Bracelet!
Mr. Lance Armstrong stay strong and remember real friends and teammates do not lie on each other, so we now know they are not real friends or teammates! But just jealous that you were able to WIN on your OWN!!!!!!!!! - Posted by Nathan Coomes on May 25th, 2011.
- Like so much of what passes for investigative journalism today, the 60 Minutes piece was a pure hack job. We should not give these people any more exposure than they have already. The biggest difference between the Lance detractors and Lance, the former are about greed and personal money. Lance is about excellence and doing for others. Enough said. Go Lance. You are an inspirational island in a sea of personal greed and corruption. Landis and Hamilton should be jailed and then ignored.

I'm very surprised to see a few angry people posting garbage here.
I watched the 60 minutes interview, and I subsequently spent about 4 hours researching all the issues and people involved. I am very doubtful, after watching the interview with Larry Hamilton, that the entire truth is being told. For those that have been in highly competitive situations in life, I'm sure you can understand that when you struggle with your own career, it is easy to turn to jealousy. Larry has a dump of a life and name, and he see's someone in Lance who is just a bit better than him, but in such a monumental better place with his name brand. He goes to sleep for the last half decade feeling cheated, that this is not fair, but it is what it is. And now his true character shows.

There are 3 types of people - Ones who support Lance without question - ones that believe he used enhancement drugs to win but the ones I don't understand are the
ones that believe Lance used performance enhancing drugs but say they won't hold it against him. As far as I am concerned this third group might as well be in with the ones that believe Lance cheated. To me, you either believe Lance or you don't - you can't have it both ways. We who support Lance believe 110% that
he has won fair and square and did it clean. Our support is unwaivering and watching programs like 60 Minutes did nothing to make us change our loyalty. I wear my yellow bracelet with pride and hope that our support will give Lance the strength to carry on doing what he does to make the world a better place. - This one comes from Sharon Malette on May 24th, 2011.
- You've done a lot to help bicyclists in car-and-truck happy Texas in addition to everything you've done for cancer survivors. I'm on your side, not on the side of these inquisitors who let mighty banking interests go scot-free but instead try to frame and falsely accuse one of America's heroes.

- EDxtensive chemotherapy destroyes the marrow's ability to produce Red Blood Cells. Red Blood Cells transport Oxygen. Without Oxygen there is no energy production in cells, thus rigor mortis. Erythropoietin MUST BE GIVEN to avoid death. Lance's doctors did not give him erythropoietin to win the race in cycling, but to win the race against cancer and death.

- At this point I don't care what was done in the past . It doesn't change the fact that Lance was the best at his game and the game was played on a level field. If no physical evidence has been produced after all this effort who cares. Why are the Feds so desperate to ruin Lance is my question. What other athletes have been as generous with time and money. My respect for Lance Armstrong is solid.

Lance,
I had the pleasure of meeting you and the rest of the Radio Shack Team back in December 2010 when you came to our work site in Arizona. You and the guys were awsome racing around our track. That day you gave a very good friend of mine the most wonderful birthday he has had in a long time and I wanted to thank you. He is a huge supporter of you as we all are. You have been through some very rough times in the past but you had the strength and the will power to fight and survive. You will get through this as well.

- Sports Illustrated (unfortunately) has become the Weekly World News of the sports world. You know...the magazine you see in the grocery store while checking out that has headlines alien abductions & giant man eating grasshoppers etc. It's pretty bad when there are more pages in a K-mart add flier than there are in Sports Illustrated. Take a look at a current issue and you'll see what I mean. 6 pages of content....20 pages of advertisement. Sports Illustrated subscribers are nearly non-existent. I personally subscribed for 11 years...but cancelled my subscription long ago. The only people who take the magazine anymore do so just to purchase the Free Madden NFL game...or the "Superbowl Pack" for their favorite team....the magazine is merely the free monthly trash you get in the mail. It's clear that Sports Illustrated is making a pathetic attempt to sell it's DEAD magazine by swirling a small bundle of worthless, unproven, outdated, heresay about Lance. I must admit...I did read it....I found a copy on the floor at Great Clips while getting my hair cut. I laughed and threw it in the trash...where it belongs. I asked the manager of Great Clips why they subscribe to the magazine and he said "we don't...we don't pay for it anyway...they just keep sending them" "only thing I can guess is....the business who was here before us may have subscribed?" HILARIOUS!

Lance,this latest travesty by Sports Illustrated attempting to tarnish your image is an insult to all cancer survivors who may be alive today because of your victory over this dread disease. Why, why, Why????????? Is writing about you all the press finds newsworthy? Isn't the pool of celebrities and politicians being thrown under the bus by the press enough fodder for their greedy pockets? Your achievements on and off the bike are amazing. Each breath you take is amazing. This investigation and the publicity generated by it, cannot and should not negate a life lived well. I'm still hanging on to your back wheel--so please RIDE ON!!!!!! - Support provided by Carole Chagnon on Jan 23rd, 2011.

Whenever I'm out training or racing, I think of how you could suffer for your craft and I can suffer just a little longer, and if it starts raining I think." What would Lance do?

And thats just the things I know about. I have been following your career since 2008 and just marvel at all you do. When the idiots that are conducting this witch hunt on your behalf realize they are wrong - the rest of us won't be surprised. We knew all along that you rode clean.

Hi, Lance,
For us, you're an hero!I saw and photograph you on many time at the start of stages of the Tour de France and Paris Nice. My wife was diagnosed with a breast cancer and you always be a great support for her, specially during her chimio. She have a real collection of your autographes. The last one was on the book "My comeback" at the start of the last stage on the 2010 Tour de France in Longjumeau.
I was born in a cycling family and for us, you're a real example of courage and of the clever way of driving a cycling team. Be sure that you have a real "aura"! WE'LL ALWAYS SUPPORT YOU!

Your work ethic is unparalleled and that is what made you a tremendous CHAMPION. Thanks for being such an enormous inspiration to those you believe in you. And for ALL the good you do for people suffering from cancer. For that alone you are a great humanitarian. Thank you again a million times over Lance. --- now kick some Freaky Floyd ass and teach him a lesson like you taught those guys you ride away from on all the tours. YOU ROCK LANCE!!

- This whole thing is a collosal waste of time, effort, resources. If Lance had ONE failed test....it would be marginally understandable. Name another person in history who has NEVER failed a drug test....much less dozens of them....that has been federally investigated. Hey....Michael Jordan wes never drug tested....he won 6 titles! Let's go snuff him out...Complete BS! Landis is a liar, a psychopath, and he's trying to COVER his own lies, mistakes, and embezzling millions of dollars out of innocent people. I believe Freaky Floyd has told another whopper...and the ignorant media & the left wing minion have fallen for it hook, line & sinker. I believe Floyd's latest lie was told in a desperate attempt to keep his lying hide out of prison. Floyd should ALREADY be in prison! I hope Lance (once cleared of this BS) sues the hell out of ALL the weazels involved with this witch hunt. I'm not sure if you can sur our current Obama government...but I sure hope so. I think Lance should go after Floyd...to put him in prison for 20+ Lance should then go after lost wages, lost funding, defamation of character, lost time just to name a few. The government should have to pick up the tab on ALL of this! Then, Lance could donate the money to the Livestrong Foundation. I truly can't believe I live in a country that would even consider this witch hunt with ZERO evidence....only heresay fantasy from a known LIAR like Freaky Floyd and contradictory babble from a bitter, jealous, burn out like Greg LeDouche.

- I have watched you along time Lance and have been in a few races with you as well over the years. I have never seen you put off fans or fail to embrace the sport of cycling. You are one of the greats in my opinion. It is a pleasure to stand up for you. I wish you all of the best and will continue to have your back.

- In everyone's lifetime, cancer is going to aim a direct hit at their heart. One of the first things I do when a loved one, friend, or acquaintance tells me they have been diagnosed with cancer is to go to your Livestrong site, and send them everything I can that I know will help them. Time and again, I've heard back from the recipient to thank me for at least one of the essential tools given to them. As a cancer survivor exactly as long as you, Lance, and whose husband has only days ago completed radiation therapy, I know this world is a better place for your having been in it. We are your true friends, and we send our deepest appreciation for the inspiration, thrills, and dedication you've shown over and over again, whether on your bike, in front of Congress, or in the pages of your books. Thank you, thank you.

Lance:
Your courage and grit throughout the last decade remain an inspiration. I have followed the Tour De France since the only available information was on the second page of the sports section in the 70's and 80's. I watched your comeback during the Vuelta on computer clips. That following July your time took over our home, the whole family crowding in and becoming July experts on bike racing, although the rest of the year they returned to cheer for the Chargers, Lakers etc. Yes we still watch Paul and Phil and Bob but the excitement has slipped away some since the days of Lance and Jan.
My perspective is why federal prosecutors are following up on the Landis allegations. I resent that my hard earned and willing paid federal tax contributions are being used to fund an investigation driven by what is likely an obsessive dysfunctional investigator. I believe that sanity will prevail and politics will start to reign in this sideshow. Meantime you remain and we will always think of you in our home as "Welcome to the July Machine" - This one comes from F. Robert Clay on Nov 26th, 2010.
- The FDA should spend its limited resources, funded by our tax dollars, on protecting the nation's food and drug supplies, at least that's what I've written my Congressman. Soon this will pass and we'll all be able to focus on today and the years to come. Livestrong!

- Lance, I am twenty years older than you. I enjoyed cycling before you were born...............but you helped me remember that which changed my life. I am now an avid cyclist again and healthier than I have been for many years and a good role model for my kids and family. There are many athletes who are gifted, and who succeed at high levels but none have your heart, compassion and generosity. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for being there for so many when you could have walked away and enjoyed a wonderful life. You remind us what is best about us if we just look outside of ourselves. Thank you Lance. I will support you always.

Lance, keep your chin up.
As for the FDA, their six agents looking through French garbage cans, and that sleaze-ball Novitkzy, we should all inform out Senators
that the FDA is clearly a Department that can benefit from a very large budget cut. Times are tight, after all. Does anyone know the
name of the FDA official who authorized this waste of taxpayer money? He should be the first to be shown the door. - This one comes from Wick Haxton on Nov 26th, 2010.

- Lance: You are the most inspirational athlete I have ever seen. As an attorney, I am appalled at the blatant effort to discredit you. It is built on hearsay and 'proof' from discredited cyclists. You have remained steadfast in your innocence and, also, in your willingness to be tested over and over again. While I truly believe that the DOJ will try to slap you with their favorite, impossible to defend change - conspiracy, please know that thinking individuals will know your veracity and realize that you have remained true to your sport and to yourself. Whatever the outcome, you will always be revered for the good you have done for the World. Thank you!!!!!

- Thank You Lance for all the great memories of watching you ride and win seven Tour de France titles, plus the other numerous titles that you have won. Also, thank you for all that you have done for the cancer research through your foundation, helping to save many lifes, plus encouraging people with this disease to fight on, just like you did. I might be only one person, but I'm behind you 110%. God Bless you Lance, and all the best to you and your family.

- Lance - can't believe these people are doubting the fact that you are the man! You won all those TDFs against all those riders - may I hasten to add riders that all have been found out since to be dopers! Ullrich, Basso, Landis, Heras, Hamilton and some of these guys were in your own team! You must have been so much better than them with all that extra training and not doing any drugs and all ! Lets face it the testing you have done prove that! Have a good retirement when you finish the Tour Down Under next year - the cycling world will be a sadder place without you riding! Luckily we have Alberto Contador and the Astana Team! - he hasn't taken any drugs either and has to put up with stupid allegations like you ! Keep up the good work with your charity!

In 1999 I was sitting in a hole of a place in Detroit after watching the end of my Dad after he slowly withered away from cancer. That event wrecked our family and I gave up mentally; then a few months later in a place called le Puy Du Fou ,over the course of 6.8km and around 8 minutes, you restored my faith and hope in life.

- Lance, I am simply amazed at what you have done for the sport of cycling, which I love, and for the fight against cancer. Regardless of the outcome of these allegations you will always be one of the people I admire. The measure of a man is his choices. Note that word is plural. Your private life is yours but the balance of your choices has clearly been more right than wrong and I don't give a damn if you made a bad a choice her or there like any of the rest of the world has. I just want to say thank you for all the great choices and amazing things you have done for all of us. Ride on.

Lance,
Your book, "It's not about the Bike," won my heart and was an inspiration to fight for our daughter who was disabled in 1989. Certainly, many people over the years have been an inspiration for our family, but for me, personally, your story stole my heart. I started watching the tour and following your career. I've read every book written about your life and how hard you train--the love you have for your family, your mother, etc. I have the picture of you by Graham Watson riding your bike on the bleak winter's day in the mountains, "I rode and I rode and I rode. . . . ." It's over my staionary bike. I've had two knees replaced. During my recuperation, I took out my dvd's of all your wins in the tour de france. You overcame cancer when the odds were against you. And now, your fighting again, but I don't think the odds are against you. I admired you so much in this year's race. It reminded me of the Olympics when you won bronze instead of gold, and Kristen said she never was more proud of you. You were a true winner this year. I think your comeback was a success. It showed you are a gracious man with an iron will.
Every day I check the Lance Armstrong news re: doping. Today I was appalled at the article "Can the Tour de France ever be won without doping?" Not possible to win the Tour de France just drinking mineral water, downing a hundred cliff bars and a ton of spaghetti and meatballs. No doping, no Podium in Paris."
I was apalled by that last statement. Although your name wasn't mentioned, the implication was there. The author of the article trivialized the training, courage, intelligence, endurance, commitment to your team, etc. I just can't believe you would every jeopardize your health, your crusade to find a cure for cancer, and for all the cancer patients who have been inspired to go on because of the exammple your have set. I ask the question,"Why????????" Why would you put your health at risk, and I'll repeat that--WHY WOULD YOU PUT YOUR HEALTH AT RISK--THE MIRACLE OF LIFE--JEOPARDIZE THE LIFE YOU FOUGHT SO HARD TO KEEP--WHY WOULD YOU disappoint your lovely children by leaving a legacy of deceit--the list could go on and on. I believe you won and keep winning because of hard work and determination. I will not believe that you could ever have taken dope or approved of anyone on your team taking dope. Will this witch hunt ever be over for you--no matter the good you keep doing, they still keep coming after you. I ask again over and over Why Why Why??? Why can't we have a true hero in 2010--Why does our country and the world have to trash a good man--not perfect--what human being on this earth is perfect, and why would you want to be. But trustworthy, brave, honest, a loving father and son, a person who enjoys laughter and fun--these are wonderful human traits. You have the support and love of the many people who support you and the work that you do for cancer and the sport of cycling. Thank you, Lance--and when history records your life, it will be written that he "rode and he rode and he rode. . . . ." - This message was contributed by Carole Chagnon on Oct 8th, 2010.

Lance, your story inspired me when I was writing ex-Celtic star John Hartson's new book, Please Don't Go - the story of his incredible comeback from testicular cancer. I know you inspired John too when you sent him messages of support when he almost died last summer. Thanks and keep up the fantastic work.

Thank you for the inspiration! - This message was contributed by AP on Sep 30th, 2010.
- Why do we now have this culture where we seem to want to tear down our heroes? The government is very quick to jump in and investigate, sue, or even jail our high profile extraordinary sportsmen and women. I say let Lance's extra ordinary achievements stand as testimony to his determination to conquer the disease which almost killed him, and to prove to so many others that they can do it too. He is truly a hero of the American people, and what motivates people like Greg Lemond and Floyd Landis to try to bring him down is just pure jealousy!

Lance,
Lance,
I have followed your career since I read your book, "It's Not About the Bike." I never missed any of the tour de France races, and was disappointed for you this year. You are a champion and having a few bad days does not make your less than a champion which you have proved seven times. We humans and subject to suffering of all kinds--it's called LIFE. When I read your book "IT'S NOT ABOUT THE BIKE, it was a time in my life that my daughter was injured and lost her sight and the use of her arms and legs. Your book inspired our family to have faith. With all you endured during your recovery and the miracle of being cancer free to this day, I can't conceive of your mistreating your body after winning your battle against this terrible disease by putting anything in your amazing body you were blessed with. I also can't believe that you would disgrace your children or Kristen, and leave them a legacy of shame. You had a father who didn't want you and the stigma of being different during your formative years . Most importantly, I don't believe you would bring shame to your mother who has loved you and been by your side through the good and bad times. You wouldn't disgrace her-- A son who was told his mother couldn't go in with him to meet a King, stating, "I dont check my mother at the door. . . ." This is an example of the power of your convictions, no matter what the cost to you. Your opponents on and off the bike have said you were arrogant, stubborn,, always have to have your own way, or words to that effect. There will always be "nay sayers" when you're in the public eye. Public figures are always victims of the press, as we all know. You have a loyal following, and I know you won't let us down. Live Strong!!!!! - Support provided by Carole Chagnon on Sep 21st, 2010.
- Screw landis, Go Lance! Doping or not, I realy don't care. You're a true inspiration to a lot of people and the greatest champion ever. I love to see you ride and hope to see you in the tour the france for eternity..
