Lance Armstrong was the first cyclist to win seven Tour de France titles (1999β2005). The achievement was even more remarkable given that he had earlier battled stage 3 testicular cancer. For years Armstrong faced allegations that he took performance-enhancing drugs, and in 2012 the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency announced that its investigation found that he had used various banned substances. Armstrong was subsequently stripped of his Tour titles. He was also banned from cycling and any other sport that follows the World Anti-Doping Code. This included Ironman events, which he began competing in following his retirement from cycling. Armstrong later hosted a podcast and occasionally provided sports commentary on TV.
