The person who I admired:

The person whom I admire are Lance Armstrong, because he was a lot of problems when he was a child, but he get overcome and be the best cycler of the word and have a lot of titles throughout his career. Also he overcame a cancer in the testicles and many other things when I was a child I would be like Lance, and win the tour of France and the Giro of Italy. . For this reason I admire to him and his achievements.

Who is Lance armstrong? He was born in Texas United States in 1971, and since he was a child show very good talent to sports and speciality of cycling.

He began in cycling when he was nineteen years old, in his first carrer he got to eighth space, causing very good feelings. Also he is one of the youngest riders to win the world cup in 1996 and be the first American on win the Belgian race called Flèche Wallonne.

But everything was not success to Lance Armstrong, because in october of this year was diagnosed testicular cancer. He had to be submitted to hard therapy, also be the low tegnology of the year, he had few possibility to survive. In this time he was not active, and was a very dificul time to him. But Lance got it  win the war against cancer and two years later he come back to professional cycling with more strong and more support.

After win seven tour of France in 2005 he desired retire of professional cycling.

in the other hand in 2012 Lance accept have taken prohibited substances and every titles winners since 1998 at 2005 no longer belong. In one interview wiht  Ophra Winfrey he decired admit what he took "EPO" and do a blood transfusion for improve their performance and he said what it is not cheating because every cycling took this substance.

In some case the people think the he never should called win, but he win the best and more difficult career or stage of his life win to cancer and survive to one disease what die a lot of people in the world, also come back to compete in the professional cycling. Only for this reason her is a winner.
