Lance Armstrong Lance Armstrong won the Tour de France seven consecutive times from 1999 to 2005, having previously survived testicular cancer that had spread to his brain and lungs. However, in 2012 the United States Anti-Doping Agency stripped him of all his titles following a comprehensive doping investigation that revealed systematic performance-enhancing drug use throughout his career. Despite the scandal, his cancer survival story and founding of the Livestrong Foundation remain significant chapters in his complex legacy.
