And to make it worse, the cancer has already spread to his brain, his abdomen, and his lungs.

And so he undergoes several surgeries and many rounds of chemotherapy.

And because of that, he has to step away from cycling completely.

And this really sucks for him.

I mean, cycling is his whole life.

But then, months go by, and it's now 1997.

And something incredible happens.

After all that surgery and chemotherapy, Lance officially beats cancer and is finally declared cancer-free.

And of course, now Lance decides it's time to go back to professional cycling.

So he joins the U.S.

Postal Service pro cycling team and they give him a new contract.

And just like that, Lance is officially back on the bike.

Now, normally you'd expect that after surviving cancer, after getting a second chance at life, basically, he would choose to stay away from drugs completely.

But of course, that's not what he does.

No, no, he's trying to win.

He goes right back to using banned substances to help him compete better and win more often.

And to his credit, it actually works.

By 1999, just two years after beating cancer, he races and wins the Tour de France, which is considered the biggest competition in the sport of cycling.

And after this victory, Lance blows the up and he becomes insanely popular with a

ton of fans worldwide i mean people love his story he's a guy who had to quit because he got cancer and then he beat cancer and returned to the sport and he had one of the greatest comebacks ever which is just incredibly inspiring but see lance's story it's not over i mean he's not done yet
