Only last night came the end of the "Last Dance" masterpiece on Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls dynasty, and it turns out that ESPN have decided not to wait much and release the next hit this week: a documentary about the legendary cyclist's career, Lance Armstrong.

This is a four-and-a-half-hour movie, which will be screened in two parts where sports fans can watch Armstrong's fascinating life story, which at age 25 became testicular, healthy and even managed to win seven times in the Tour de France race but after being caught using banned substances, all his titles were revoked.

"I'm not going to lie to you this time," Armstrong is quoted in a movie from "30 on 30" that followed the rider in the period between March 2018 and Summer 2019, "I'm going to tell you the whole truth."

When asked about whether there was a chance of cancer due to drug abuse, Armstrong answered honestly, "I can't tell you the answer because I really don't know, but I'm sure I won't. The only time I took growth hormone was in 1996. So the logic Shelley says - if something good needs to grow - it grows. It certainly makes sense that something bad can grow, too. "

Remember, the 48-year-old Frenchman was suspended from the Tour de France in the summer of 2012 on suspicion of use of banned substances, after being caught during the race and taken by police after more than a year's tracking. Five months later, the World Bicycle Association announced that it was accepting the findings of the Special Report issued by the American Anti-Doping Commission (USADA), according to which Armstrong has used banned substances throughout his career. Following the report's findings, the Bicycle Association has deprived the legendary rider of its seven winners in the Tour de France.
