The working title is ‘Cycle of Lies: The Fall of Lance Armstrong’.
Speculation will now begin on who should play the disgraced cyclist, who was stripped of his seven Tour de France titles, after a damning report by the US Anti-Doping Agency found him to be guilty of using performance enhancing drugs.
We’ve saved JJ the effort by casting the movie on his behalf.
