In the video I talk about Lance Armstrong, and tell you the reason why he still remains someone I look up to today.
I discuss his history as a new cyclist on the scene to surviving cancer and building Livestrong.
The ethical debate around his charity work versus what we know now. Does it make it right? I talk about the landscape in cycling during those years and before, how that must have been for such a winner and alpha male to discover.
I also ask the question, what would you do in the same situation? Can you even imagine how you'd feel given the same conditions?
Lance will always be a character that divides opinion, but he has a lot of fans still, most of them are quiet fans, but he has a huge following of people who, like me, appreciate him for what he achieved and who he is.
