Cycling legend Lance Edward Armstrong is renowned for winning the Tour de France, cycling's ultimate endurance race, an unprecedented seven times in a row. More impressive, Armstrong accomplished this feat after being diagnosed and undergoing treatment for testicular cancer in 1996. In 2011, Armstrong's former teammates offered testimony suggesting Armstrong had used banned substances to boost his athletic performance during competition. It remains to be seen how these accusations will impact the legacy of one of the most celebrated athletes of the 20th century.
