The Biggest Losers Are Those Who Care

I Have Never Had A Single Positive Doping Test, And I Do Not Take Performance-enhancing Drugs.

But The Fact Is That I Wouldn't Have Won Even A Single Tour De France Without The Lesson Of Illness. What It Teaches Is This: Pain Is Temporary. Quitting Lasts Forever.

The Truth Is, If You Asked Me To Choose Between Winning The Tour De France And Cancer, I Would Choose Cancer. Odd As It Sounds, I Would Rather Have The Title Of Cancer Survivor Than Winner Of The Tour, Because Of What It Has Done For Me As A Human Being, A Man, A Husband, A Son, And A Father.

I've Given Gifts In The Tour De France And It's Come Back To Bit Me. So No Gifts.

One Of The Redeeming Things About Being An Athlete Is Redefining What Is Humanly Possible.
