It is the true story of a superlative sports figure fighting on all fronts-made newly vulnerable by age, fate, fame, doping allegations, a painful divorce, and an unprecedented army of challengers-while mastering the exceedingly difficult trick of being Lance Armstrong, a combination of world-class athlete, celebrity, regular guy, and, for many Americans, secular saint.
