He's beaten cancer, he's won olympic medals and he's won the world famous tour de france many times.
Through out my childhood I idolised Lance Armstrong
So to see one of your childhood sports heros come out to say that he was a complete cheat is a huge shock! I feel cheated! Buying countless books! & thinking wow what an inspiration! Now its all come out to be all a lie!
My favourite book of all time was "Its not all about the bike", well this is no more!
I can honestly say that monetising his story from a recovering cancer patient to super sports hero is criminal! I've watched and lost countless friends to cancer & to see that this man has made his fortune through lying is sad!
Here's a great link I found today from the telegraph! The video at the top says it all!

My plans for 2013!
2013 Plans!
Well it’s another year in the busy, crazy world we live in! Last year was a great year for a few reasons!
I managed to go backpacking for a month by myself to Thailand, Borneo, Dubai and Singapore. Diving with sharks & manta ray, sea fishing, stayed at the 7* Dubai burj alla rab, went to the top of one of the world’s tallest buildings, kayak and rock climb on KO Phi Phi Island (where the beach was filmed!), climb one of the world’s highest mountains and more!
In May I went to Las Vegas and walked the whole strip, had a helicopter tour across the grand canyon! I was lucky to meet the famous boxing ring commentator Michael buffer & saw busta rhymes rap in the Venetian!

In 2012 I Invested in 2 different companies (1 good investment & 1 bad) I learnt more about life and business, made mistakes and learnt from them! Met a great girl! Bought a car of my dreams! Set out to start up a new business! Finalised the sport that I’m going to get my teeth into! The Decathlon!
Watched the Olympics & got involved with all of the 2012 celebrations including the Queens Jubilee!
I managed to meet Usain bolt, Linford Christie, Chris Tomlinson, Mervyn Luckwell, Abdul Buhari, Jason Baird, Terry Holland, Jodie Marsh, and many more sports stars & Olympians!

But most importantly I finally became more appreciative of what I have! Travelling across Malaysia and Thailand made me realise how much we have & how easy our lives are in western society! Seeing poor, homeless children raiding bins in the slums is not an ideal view on any holiday however it’s a must see to appreciate everything you have!
In 2013 my plans are to knuckle down & to work hard and enjoy my life to the fullest! I won't allow myself to get bogged down with life’s problems and let negative people get at me!
Here's some of my plans for 2013:
- Launch my new clothing brand into the UK sports / fitness market with the view to wholesale UK wide... www.gymbeing.com
- Employ more people
- Travel to the States and S. America!
- Build a stronger presence within the fitness industry
- Mentor the team of personal trainers I have & help my mentors Rob and Matt
- Re-launch my entertainments business to the Warwickshire / UK market! www.gtentertainments.co.uk
- Focus on my training more! 12 - 15 hours per week, get the right coaches, training regime & techniques for my new sport!
