An Armstrong Family: From Lies to Morality

Armstrong, 48, and seven-time champion of the Tour de France, stripped of all titles after his doping was confirmed, reiterated that he had lied for years.

The first part of the documentary, which aired last week, focused on Armstrong's rise to fame and the characters around him, led by controversial Italian doctor Michele Ferrari and director Marina Zenovich, and took advantage of the interviews conducted with the former cyclist between 2018 and 2019 to show that he modified some of the details he gave to popular TV host Oprah Winfrey in 2013.

For example, his beginnings in doping were not in 1996 but four years earlier, and how gradually the dismantling of his vast amount of lies began.

As a counterweight to Lance Armstrong's questionable ethical trajectory, the documentary gives him the opportunity to introduce his son Luke, who apparently has developed a different moral perspective from his father's regarding the use of performance-enhancing drugs.

The question to Luke Armstrong was direct. He was asked if he would consider using those illicit drugs, just like his father did.

Luke Armstrong, currently a football player at Rice University in Houston, said that his fighting spirit to achieve his goals is better than choosing the easy path.

"I have always had the desire to fight for something and working towards a specific goal has always been much more worthwhile than taking shortcuts," highlighted Luke Armstrong.

"I also feel that if I ever did that and got caught, I would have earned the label of 'just like his father,'" he admitted.

On the other hand, when asked by Zenovich, the director of the documentary, how he would feel if his son wanted to use drugs, Armstrong replied, "It would be a bad idea because in college, it's not worth it."

Armstrong was banned for life after publicly admitting in 2013 that he had doped.
