The World According to Lance replay

ABC NEWS 24 will be replaying its Four Corners documentary which made news in the US.

2013-01-17_1937Cleverly capitalising on the interview with Oprah and Lance Armstrong, ABC NEWS 24 will be replaying the Four Corners documentary The World According To Lance this Sunday.

This documentary even made news in the US.

It has been updated to reflect recent events.

Screened in October 2012, the program has been sold to more than 17 countries worldwide, including CNN which will re-broadcast the program this weekend in the United States.

Reporter Quentin McDermott talks to people who worked for Armstrong, rode with him and some who raced against him. What they reveal will shock you.

The story they tell describes a ruthless competitor who will do anything to win races and earn millions of dollars in prize money and endorsements. These people tell a story that details over ten years of drug use, that began before he was diagnosed with cancer. They also tell a story of a man prepared to vilify former friends and employees if they dare to cross him.

How did he get away with it? Why did officials fail to act against him when, on three separate occasions, drug test results raised questions about his use of drugs? Why did the world governing body for cycling accept donations from him that clearly compromised its ability to treat Armstrong as they would any other competitor?
