Nobody needs to cry for me. I'm going to be great.

I spent a long time trying to build up an organisation [the Lance Armstrong Foundation that changed its name to Livestrong after his confession] to help a lot of people.

If you're trying to hide something, you wouldn't keep getting away with it for 10 years. Nobody is that clever.

I have never had a single positive doping test, and I do not take performance-enhancing drugs.

I am just coming into my best years. This year I did new things; stretching and abdominal work.

I become a happier man each time I suffer

I got the three things I wanted. I did my job, I worked hard in the process, and I cherish the memories, and they're mine.
