Overview

In 2009, Alex Gibney was hired to make a film about Lance Armstrong’s comeback to cycling. The project was shelved when the doping scandal erupted, and re-opened after Armstrong’s confession. The Armstrong Lie picks up in 2013 and presents a riveting, insider's view of the unraveling of one of the most extraordinary stories in the history of sports. As Lance Armstrong says himself, “I didn’t live a lot of lies, but I lived one big one.”

00:59:48 While I do the blood, I don't want that the cameras will film it.

01:09:30 It was the weirdest thing.

01:14:26 I mean, if it goes perfectly for us

01:19:09 while he was being treated for cancer.

01:22:53 on Betsy's answering machine.

01:27:43 Lance had brought to the sport.
