Did Lance Armstrong Have Cancer? According to wikipedia: > In October 1996, he was diagnosed with testicular cancer that had spread to his brain and lungs. His cancer treatments included brain and testicular surgery and extensive chemotherapy. In February 1997, he was declared cancer-free and the same year he founded the Lance Armstrong Foundation for cancer support. Is there evidence that Lance Armstrong really did have cancer, or was this a lie as well?

The US Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) produced a report on its decisions against Armstrong.

One of the key pieces of evidence against Armstrong was the testimonial of fellow cyclist Frankie Andreu about what he heard in an Indiana hospital room, while Armstrong was being treated for cancer. That testimony was initially challenged by Armstrong.

> However, one of Armstrong’s doctors, Craig Nichols, confirmed that the very next day, October 28, 1996, Armstrong was set to begin chemotherapy consisting of the intravenous administration of “an aggressive combination of cisplatin, etoposide, and infosfamide.”

So, a doctor testified in an affadavit that Armstrong was receiving chemotherapy, providing strong evidence that Armstrong was indeed sick with cancer as claimed.

(Side note: Armstrong later confessed that Andreu's testimony was accurate during the recent Oprah interview.)
