Summary
A hero to millions around the world. A survivor who fought cancer and won. A man who dominated the world's greatest cyclists, only to suffer the ignominy of being forced to concede that everything he had achieved was a fraud. This version of Lance Armstrong's story is definitive, revelatory, and told with impeccable flair and style. Stop At Nothing features the accounts of acknowledged insiders Tyler Hamilton, Greg LeMond and Betsy and Frankie Andreu; the coach who discovered Lance Armstrong, Eddie Borysewicz; the doctor who nursed him through his battle with cancer, Dr Craig Nichols; his long-time friend and cycling companion Bob Roll; and the doping investigator who finally brought him down, Travis Tygart. Building on an extraordinary library of archive, some of it extremely rare, the film reflects the emotion and excitement, drama and conspiracy of the world's greatest cycling race, the Tour de France, and the strength and determination of those who in the teeth of Armstrong's aggression and bullying & stood up for the truth and helped bring about the epic downfall of a sporting giant
