Our suggestions
An Irish sports journalist becomes convinced that Lance Armstrong’s Tour de victories are fueled by doping. Driven by this belief, he begins a relentless investigation to uncover the truth behind the cycling legend.
"Stories of sports winners are always full of sweat and tears. In the case of Lance Armstrong, all of that is amplified thousands of times. An athlete who made cycling a worldwide sensation, with great victories and who beat cancer. But also a man full of secrets and mistakes. Don't watch The Program because of the sport, but instead to try and understand the complex mind of a champion."
