When it comes to sports there is always one name that sticks out for each one. With basketball it’s Michael Jordan, baseball it’s Babe Ruth, swimming it’s Michael Phelps and with cycling it’s Lance Armstrong.

Even if the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency has stripped him of a 14 year career that includes seven straight Tour de France titles, because really…Who else is going to do that, well in our lifetime? So instead of focusing on the negative like his use of banned substances or his cancer scare, let’s learn some other new facts about Lance Armstrong.

-Wasn’t born strong, well Armstrong. His birth name is Lance Edward Gunderson.

-He might’ve been the next Phelps if he’d stuck to his first sport of choice, swimming.

-Although he’s a father himself, Armstrong refuses to meet his own birth father.

-He’s got a lot of love to give though to those who matter since his heart is one-third larger than the average one.

-Has a bromance with Matthew McConaughey and is also pals with Jake Gyllenhaal and Robin Williams…One of these things is not like the other, if you know what we mean…

-Is the 7^th cousin of Katie Couric and the sixth cousin of Lizzie McGuire herself, Hilary Duff.
