.php?t=...Champion American
cyclist Lance Armstrong
discusses his experiences as a
survivor of testicular cancer,
and explains the origins of
the ubiquitous yellow
'Livestrong' bracelet.-----Bob
Schieffer interviews Lance
Armstrong at the 2007 Aspen
Ideas Festival.Some of the
most inspired and provocative
thinkers, writers, artists,
business people, teachers and
other leaders drawn from
myriad fields and from across
the country and around the
world all gathered in a single
place - to teach, speak, lead,
question, and answer at the
2007 Aspen Ideas Festival.
Throughout the week, they all
interacted with an audience of
thoughtful people who stepped
back from their day-to-day
routines to delve deeply into
a world of ideas, thought, and
discussion.Lance Armstrong is
a retired American
professional road racing
cyclist. He won the Tour de
France - cycling's most
prestigious race - seven
consecutive times, from 1999
to 2005. In doing so, he beat
the previous records of five
wins by Miguel Indurain
(consecutive) and Bernard
Hinault, Eddy Merckx and
Jacques Anquetil. Previous to
this achievement he also
survived testicular cancer, a
germ cell tumor that
metastasized to his brain and
lungs in 1996. His cancer
treatments included brain and
testicular surgery, and
extensive
chemotherapy.Armstrong's
athletic success and dramatic
recovery from cancer inspired
him to commemorate his
accomplishments, with Nike,
through the Lance Armstrong
Foundation, a charity founded
in 1997. The foundation's
yellow rubber 'Livestrong'
wristbands, first launched in
2004, have been a major
success, netting the
foundation more than $60
million dollars in the fight
against cancer, while helping
Armstrong become a major
player in the nonprofit
sector.These achievements have
at times been clouded by
allegations that Armstrong
used performance enhancing
drugs to achieve some of his
wins. However, no conclusive
evidence has been presented to
verify these allegations,
which he vigorously denies,
and Armstrong has never failed
a doping test.Bob Lloyd
