57:40:0046.8km The American Lance Armstrong finished third in the individual time trial in 58:14. He also won the Tour de France seven times in a row from 1999 to 2005. An incredible series. Therefore, his cycling career was always accompanied by rumors of doping. Armstrong denied having doped. Armstrong's fate was that his teammates Floyd Landis and Tyler Hamilton confessed to doping with Lance Armstrong. Nevertheless, he continued to argue that he did not use doping agents. In October 2012, the UCI, the world cycling association, recognized the seven victories in the Tour de France. On January 17, 2013, Lance Armstrong admitted that she had doped in the American show Ophra's Next Chapter by star host Ophra Winfrey for years. The IOC immediately deprived him of the bronze medal. This was no longer awarded.
