Stop At Nothing: The Fight for the Truth
Lance Armstrong has been stripped of seven overall Tour de France victories. The American is considered the biggest doping offender in sports history. In the documentary Stop At Nothing – also known in Germany under the title Ausge Bremst: Die Lance Armstrong Story – director Alex Holmes looks back on the Texan's career. The viewer looks at a life shaped by ambition, will, lies and deceit. The focus is on the wounds that Lance Armstrong left behind in various companions. Above all, those who have been persecuted and damaged by him for years have their say in Stop At Nothing.
The history of Lance Armstrong
It is 24 years to the day since Lance Armstrong won the Flèche Wallonne. On April 17, 1996, nobody could have guessed how much the American would influence cycling. Because although he has previously won two stages in the Tour de France, been world champion on the road and triumphed at the Clasica San Sebastian, no one could have predicted the transformation the Texan would take in the years to come, including Lance Armstrong himself. On October 2, 1996, doctors diagnosed him with advanced testicular cancer. Instead of the recommended and common chemotherapy, he opted for a much more stressful variant. As a result, he did not have to accept any long-term damage. Lance Armstrong beat cancer and came back stronger than ever. From 1999 to 2005 he won every Tour de France. Now we know by what means.

There are many good documentaries about Lance Armstrong
Stop At Nothing isn't the only documentary about Lance Armstrong. Numerous screenwriters have dealt with the life of the Texan. The Program is the latest film. The journalist David Walsh is the main focus here. He has questioned Armstrong critically for years and accused him of doping. The film also takes up the collaboration with Dr. Michele Ferrari and shows how doping consumption took place in Armstrong's teams. Also worth seeing is the documentary The Armstrong Lie. Alex Gibney was actually commissioned to film Lance Armstrong's comeback in 2009. When he later confessed to having doped, the project was put on hold, but then resumed later - with the content and knowledge of completely new findings.
