Filmmaker Alex Gibney was not alone in being duped by Lance Armstrong and his strident denials that he had doped and cheated his way to cycling's biggest prizes over the years.
A top official with the cancer charity founded by disgraced cyclist Lance Armstrong acknowledged on Thursday that the athlete's doping scandal had tarnished its reputation and created "headwinds that were not only stiff but heartbreaking."
Lance Armstrong faced doping-related litigation charges in both the United States and United Kingdom and in one case, readers accused the athlete of falsely probing them to buy his inspirational books.
