"Ninastahili kuadhibiwa. Lakini sidhani ninastahili hukumu ya kifo."Ningelitamani sana kupata nafasi ya kushindana, lakini hiyo sio sababu ya yale ninayoyafanya."

Kuhusu kutamani kurudi katika mashindano ya Tour de France, Armstrong alielezea hana matumaini ya hayo kufanyika, lakini akaongezea: “Ikiwa unaninuliza kama ningelipenda kushindana tena, jibu ni, ndio, mimi ni mshindani kweli. Hayo nimeyafanya katika maisha yangu yote. Ningelipenda kushindana na wengine.
“Kuna mambo mengi ambayo siwezi kuyafanya
kutokana na kupigwa marufuku. Lakini kama kuna nafasi, ningelipenda
kushiriki katika mbio ya marathon, nikiwa na umri wa miaka 50. Ndio.”
“Unapoitaja adhabu niliyokabidhiwa….nimepata
hukumu ya kifo, ikimaanisha siwezi kushindana. Sisemi nimeonewa, lakini
ni adhabu tofauti.”
Armstrong alisema kwa “ubinafsi” angelipenda
marufuku hiyo ya maisha iondolewe. “Lakini kwa hakika, sidhani hilo
litafanyika, na itanibidi kuishi kwa kuikubali hukumu hiyo.”
