an absolutely riveting, compelling and beyond fascinating look into the mindset of Lance Armstrong.\u00a0 With THE ARMSTRONG LIE, documentarian Alex Gibney brings us a tale that has needed telling and not as a means to further exploit on Armstrong&#8217;s misconduct and untruths, but to help everyone understand them &#8211; and there is much to understand.\u00a0 As we all know, Lance Armstrong is the most glorified &#8211; and now most vilified &#8211; cycling star to emerge on the scene in the past 100 years.\u00a0 But as we also now know, in attaining that glory, according to the United States Anti-Doping Agency he \u201cconducted the most sophisticated, professionalized and successful doping program sport has ever seen&#8221;, resulting in him being stripped of all seven Tour de France titles and forcing the return of his Olympic gold medal.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3117\" src=\"http:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/armstrong-1.jpg\" alt=\"armstrong - 1\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/armstrong-1.jpg 400w, https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/armstrong-1-300x168.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Alex Gibney is himself also a victim of Lance Armstrong.\u00a0 Originally intending to document Armstrong\u2019s 2009 comeback to cycling after a 2005 retirement, as swirling rumors turned into legal allegations as to Armstrong\u2019s \u201cdoping\u201d with performance enhancing drugs, Gibney himself questioned Armstrong for \u201cthe truth.\u201d\u00a0 To Gibney\u2019s face, Armstrong vehemently denied all allegations of doping.\u00a0 But then the other shoe dropped and what could have and should have been a triumph for Armstrong and proved an exhilarating documentary for cycling enthusiasts and Armstrong fans, crashed mid-race.\u00a0 Gibney hung up the camera while Armstrong should have hung his head in shame.<\/p>\n<p>As time passed and disclosures became known, Armstrong\u2019s lies ate away at \u201cGibby\u201d.\u00a0 He wanted the truth.\u00a0 He was owed the truth.\u00a0 He was owed an apology.\u00a0 And so he picked up his camera and shifted the focus of what he had intended to do with this documentary, giving us history, backstory and various viewpoints and confessions from doctors, dopers, fellow cyclists and Armstrong himself.\u00a0 But is it enough?\u00a0 That\u2019s for each of us to decide on viewing.<\/p>\n<p>A deeply introspective look into not only Lance Armstrong but the world of cycling, Alex Gibney presents a very balanced and honest portrayal not only of the myth that is Lance Armstrong, but the man.\u00a0 Clear and concise in his styling and narrative, Gibney cuts through the ambiguity of the situation and clarifies the situation, the legality\/illegality of the doping at different stages of Armstrong&#8217;s career, but then allows each of us to render our own verdict on the fraud perpetrated and perpetuated by Armstrong.\u00a0 But, whom did he defraud?\u00a0 Us, himself, or both?\u00a0 And Gibney provides the information that allows for our individual moral compasses to vilify or forgive or understand.<\/p>\n<p>The interviews are telling and balanced and incorporate different aspects of the cycling world.\u00a0 Particularly commanding and eliciting compassion is Gibney&#8217;s final interview with Armstrong, a few months post-Oprah.\u00a0 Armstrong emotes almost an embarrassment as he confesses his lies to &#8220;Gibby&#8221; over the years.\u00a0 It&#8217;s touching and definitely evokes empathy on this personal stage as opposed to the Oprah stage.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3122\" src=\"http:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/armstrong-6.jpg\" alt=\"armstrong - 6\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/armstrong-6.jpg 400w, https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/armstrong-6-300x168.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The individual interviews and the various perspectives are informative and interesting, yet no one vilifies Armstrong like Betsy Andreu.\u00a0 She is a vitriolic bitch from hell. Her own husband was doping yet she&#8217;s oblivious to that and just wants to condemn.\u00a0 Unfortunately, where Gibney falters in the documentary is by the omission of interviews with\u00a0 prosecutors and investigators to shed a clearer light on the legal ramifications of why one entity chooses not to go after Armstrong in court yet the Anti-Doping agency does but elects to do it under RICO statutes and mail fraud.\u00a0\u00a0 I found those areas of the documentary to be open-ended weak links.<\/p>\n<p>Most appreciative in the documentary\u2019s structure is that Gibney succinctly lays everything out, allowing Armstrong, his team doctor Michele Ferrari, fellow cyclists Reed Albergotti and Frankie Andreu, and others to state what they believe to be the obvious &#8211; the playing field was always level.\u00a0 Everyone was doping.\u00a0 There was no advantage for any cyclist.\u00a0 However, was doping illegal?\u00a0 Yes.\u00a0 But, how can you declare something illegal when you don&#8217;t even have the means to test for it, as it was in the early days?\u00a0 We see clearly that the playing field was indeed level and that Armstrong did win those races be it with performance enhancers or not.\u00a0 The double standards that we see emerge, however, are to a degree somewhat shocking when viewed in conjunction with the level of hypocrisy in the witch hunt to let the air out of Armstrong&#8217;s tires.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3121\" src=\"http:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/armstrong-5.jpg\" alt=\"armstrong -
