Currently the sporting individual making bigger waves than a tsunami is disgraced cyclist Lance Armstrong. Thanks to the monotone charms of talk show icon Oprah Winfrey, Armstrong has now come clean (has there ever been a more inappropriate term used) about his cheating past, that saw him break records in the Tour de France with the help of performance enhancing drugs. Denying the claims for over a decade and suing anyone who dared to question or speak out.
We’re now going to see how the scandal played out on the big-screen as J.J. Abrams and Bryan Burk’s Bad Robot Productions have acquired the rights to the book, Cycle of Lies: The Fall of Lance Armstrong by author Juliet Macur. The spotlight on the Armstrong has grown considerably over the past week as his confession was aired all over the globe. A confession that came across as arrogant and with little-to-no apology for those genuine riders cheated out of their rightful placing.
Eyes will now fall on potential casting and a director willing to bring the controversial story to the screen.
