Some good quotes and background of the quotes from Armstrong over the years.

"He's trying to back up his old lady."

Among those who crossed Armstrong's path was fellow cyclist Frankie Andreu. He and his wife, Betsy, were once among Armstrong's closest friends. The two say they were with Armstrong when he told a doctor he had taken performance-enhancing substances, including EPO, testosterone, cortisone, growth hormone and steroids. The Andreus testified about the incident under oath.

Armstrong, in a videotaped deposition, said he had never made such remarks. As for Frankie Andreu, Armstrong said, "I feel for him," adding, "I think he's trying to back up his old lady."

Sports Illustrated reported that Armstrong disparaged Betsy Andreu's testimony for years, "telling SI in 2007 that Andreu was motivated by 'bitterness, jealousy and hatred' and claiming to The Guardian (a British publication) a year later, 'Betsy blogs 24 hours a day about me. If that ain't sick, what is?'"

Betsy Andreu said she had to go on "a quest to clear my name because I never, ever, ever lied about anything."

Her remarks came in a documentary, first shown on Australian TV network ABC and later broadcast by CNN, in which Armstrong's remarks under oath can be seen.

"I can't lie"

An expression Armstrong has used many times in various contexts, generally having nothing to do with doping.

Now, it speaks for itself.

"I'm sorry for you"

In one of many outbursts against those who dared to question the facade he presented to the world, Armstrong had this to say to "the cynics and the skeptics: 'I'm sorry for you. I'm sorry you can't dream big and I'm sorry you don't believe in miracles,'" Australia's ABC TV network reported in the program "The World According to Lance."
