Seven Deadly Sins: My Pursuit of Lance Armstrong

When Lance Armstrong fought back from life-threatening cancer to win the 1999 Tour de France – the so-called `Tour of Renewal` – it seemed almost too good to be true. It was. Sunday Times journalist David Walsh was one of a small group who was prepared to raise awkward questions about Armstrong`s seemingly superhuman feats. And so began a 13-year battle to reveal the truth that finally ended in October 2012 when the cyclist was stripped of his seven Tour victories and banned from the sport for life. Walsh`s gripping and moving personal account of his struggles is a revealing insight into the murkier end of professional cycling – a place where having the right doctor can make all the difference and where there existed a conspiracy of silence. As he shows, it never was about the bike. However, spurred on by a few brave people who were prepared to speak out in the hope of saving the sport they loved, Walsh continued to probe, and eventually he was vindicated when Armstrong`s reputation was ruined.In this updated edition, covering Armstrong`s confession to Oprah, Seven Deadly Sins takes the reader into a world of doping and lies, but shows that there is always hope for a better future.
