Lance Armstrong was born in Plano, Texas, on September 18, 1971. His biological father moved out when he was a baby, and he and his father were on their own. At age sixteen, he become a triathlete. Suddenly, when he already reached the top of success, approximately after his 25th birthday, he began coughing up blood. He was diagnosed with testicular cancer that has been spread to his abdomen, lungs, lymph nodes and brain.
Then he underwent surgery, radiation treatment and chemotherapy which brings lots of side effects. In 1998, he was married with Kristin Richard (Kik). In late 1998, he was get back to riding. He got the spirit from his wife and his dream to won the most famous bike competition, which is Tour de France.
