Cycle of Lies: The Fall of Lance Armstrong Audiobook (Free)

The definitive account of Lance Armstrong’s spectacular rise and fall.

In June 2013, when Lance Armstrong fled his palatial residential in Texas, downsizing when confronted with multimillion-dollar lawsuits, Juliet Macur was there-talking to his girlfriend and children and listening to Armstrong’s version of the reality. She was one of the few media members apart from Oprah Winfrey to be granted prolonged one-on-one usage of the most well-known pariah in sports.

At the guts of Cycle of Lies is Armstrong himself, about Cycle of Lies: The Fall of Lance Armstrong revealed through face-to-face interviews.

But this unfolding narrative is provided depth and breadth by the firsthand accounts greater than a hundred witnesses, including family members whom Armstrong had longer since turned his back on-the adoptive dad who gave him the Armstrong name, a grandmother, an aunt. Maybe most damning of all may be the taped testimony from the late J.T. Neal, the most important of Armstrong’s many father figures, recorded in the ultimate many years of Neal’s existence as he dropped his battle with cancer just like Armstrong gained popularity for surviving the condition.

In the long run, it was Armstrong’s former friends, those that had once occupied the precious space of his inner circle, who betrayed him. These were the ones who dealt Armstrong his fatal blow by breaking the code of silence that shielded the general public through the grim truth about the sport of cycling-and the grim truth about its fantastic boy, Armstrong.

Threading together the vivid and disparate voices of those with intimate knowledge of the private and public Armstrong, Macur weaves a comprehensive and unforgettably rich tapestry of one man’s amazing rise to global fame and fortune and his devastating fall from grace.
