Lance Edward Armstrong (born Lance Edward Gunderson) is a former professional road racing cyclist. Armstrong had won the Tour de France a record seven consecutive times between 1999 and 2005, before being disqualified from each of those races and banned from cycling for life for doping offenses by the United States Anti-doping agency (USADA), in 2012.

boring

I recommend the Tyler Hamilton book, has a lot more details and information behind the scenes.

Not great

This book is great shooting out numbers and facts but the read is boring. It is robotic and feels like it is just trying to check boxes. The Armstrong story as shitty as it is, is compelling but this boom is like chewing on packaging popcorn.
