The upcoming movie will be based on Armstrong’s former teammate Tyler Hamilton’s book “The Secret Race,” in which Hamilton details of “the most sophisticated, professionalized and successful doping program” in all of sports.

An insider told The Sun, ”Most sports films end in an inspirational victory. It’s hard to work out what the ending would be.”

This would be the second Armstrong project Damon has been linked to. Damon was in line to play Armstrong in the now-dropped Sony adaptation of Armstrong’s memoir, It’s “Not About the Bike,” which was to be produced by Bourne franchise’s Frank Marshall.

Damon’s representatives denied the actor will narrate the upcoming Alex Gibney directed Armstrong documentary.

The seven-time Tour de France winner was stripped of his titles and received a lifetime ban from the sport. While Armstrong maintains his innocence, many questioned why the most dominant athlete in sports would not attempt to clear his name. According to the New York Daily News, Crow was subpoenaed in late 2011 in the agency’s two-year investigation.

After battling steroid allegations for the majority of his career, Armstrong said, “There comes a point in every man’s life when he has to say, ‘Enough is enough’. For me, that time is now.”  This week, Armstrong’s former teammate Tyler Hamilton is releasing a memoir,“The Secret Race: Inside the Hidden World of the Tour de France, Doping, Cover-ups and Winning at All Costs.”

In it, Hamilton alleges  Crow stayed in an apartment in Girona, Spain that Armstrong used to store  performance-enhancing drugs to teammates before major races. Crow’s attorney, Jay Cooper told the Daily Mail, “I’m not going to comment one way or the other.”

Crow and Armstrong began dating in 2003 before announcing their engagement in September 2005. The couple broke up in February 2006, just after Armstrong won his 7th Tour de France title and subsequently retiring from the sport.

Clenbuterol is sometimes given to cows, pigs and other animals to increase their growth rate but has never shown up positive in a drug test.

Contador beat second place rider Andy Schleck (Luxembourg) by 39 seconds. Next to Schleck, the next happiest guy is Lance Armstrong, who has stolen the cycling headlines (the few headlines that they have) for steroid allegations.

The cycling world is in the midst of a controversy over the yellow jersey winner. During yesterday’s Stage 15, Andy Schleck started the race with an 38-second lead over second place Alberto Contador. As Schleck attacked during the final climb of Stage 15 his bike chain derailed cuasing him to stop and fix his bike. Contador capitalized on Schelck’s misfortuentes, passing the rider and taking the lead by eight seconds.

Many are claiming Contador’s move was in violation of cycling’s unwritten rule not to pass a rival during their misfortene i.e mecanical or crash. Earlier in the Tour, Contador waited for Schleck when he crashed, but Schleck felt betrayed by Contador after he attacked while he fixed his bike chain. “I’m really disappointed. My stomach is full of anger, and I want to take my revenge. I will take my revenge in the coming days” Schelck said.

The Tour enters what many to believe is the most difficult stage today.

Lance Armstrong

Armstrong is overshadowing this year’s Tour de France because he is being investigated by federal authorities for possible fraud and doping charges. It has long been speculated Armstrong used steroids to win his seven Tour de France titles during the early and mid 2000s. Now grand jury subpoenas have been issued to 3 time Tour winner Greg LeMond, 2006 winner Floyd Landis, and other US Postal Service team members.

LeMond will appear in a federal courthouse in LA on July 30 and has been the most outspoken about Armstrong’s drug use throughout the investigation.

In the latest allegations, LeMond has claimed Armstrong offered to pay someone $300,000 to implicate LeMond in an EPO performance enhancer scandal. LeMond even went as far as telling Journal Du Dimanche, a French newspaper, “For him, it’s the beginning of the end.”

Some Armstrong critics have even said this year’s poor Tour performance is due to Armstrong not using steroids because he is under the microscope.

Despite allegations, Armstrong has never tested positive for steroids. The 97th Tour de France ends this Sunday as Stage 20 finishes at Champs-Elysees in Paris.

American favorite Lance Armstrong finished in a disappointing 23rd place.
