Editor's Take:

Lance Armstrong's story was once sport's greatest comeback. He returned from advanced cancer to win the Tour de France seven times. His yellow wristbands raised millions for cancer charities. Investigators later showed that his team ran a sophisticated doping programme. They also found he bullied those who spoke out. He lost his titles and most of his sponsors. He finally confessed in 2013. His case changed how fans think about heroes in sport.

Key Milestones

1993: Becomes road race world champion
1996: Diagnosed with advanced cancer
1999: Wins his first Tour de France
2012: Stripped of his Tour titles
