Answer:
1999
Step-by-step explanation:
Lance Armstrong is a very interesting and very controversial person in the world of the sports, especially in his discipline, the cycling. When he started with cycling in the early 1990's Armstrong was showing nice potential, managing to win several tours, and parts of the Tour de France. Than he got a terrible news as he was diagnosed with testicular cancer. Luckily he managed to survive and returned to cycling. In the year of 1999, Armstrong won his first Tour de France, and after that he was dominating Tour de France for several years. Little that the other's knew that he was actually doping and that was the primary reason why he managed to dominate so easily. In 2012, Armstrong was stripped of his medals as it was officially confirmed that he was using substances that are not allowed. While this is very bad from sporting perspective, Armstrong actually became a hero, as he used his money and reputation in order to create centers for people who have cancer, and raised very big sum of money for the people who have this disease and for their curing.
