Banned for life from cycling which he once dominated, Lance Armstrong is still featuring in sports shows, with ESPN's 30 for 30 documentary series the latest to highlight the Texan's rise and fall into disgrace.

The sports channel launched a trailer of the documentary which will air on May 24 at 9 p.m. EDT this month.

The trailer features Armstrong and former teammate George Hincapie ("I did tell Lance to just come out and say it, this is real now") as well as former USA Cycling head Derek Bouchard-Hall ("all the praise we put upon him was all well deserved. Winning seven Tour de Frances [sic] is not easy. That's extremely difficult to do") and ESPN journalist Bonnie Ford ("I'm going to be naturally skeptical of whatever Lance does or says").

Cyclingnews is the world's leader in English-language coverage of professional cycling. Started in 1995 by University of Newcastle professor Bill Mitchell, the site was one of the first to provide breaking news and results over the internet in English. The site was purchased by Knapp Communications in 1999, and owner Gerard Knapp built it into the definitive voice of pro cycling. Since then, major publishing house Future PLC has owned the site and expanded it to include top features, news, results, photos and tech reporting. The site continues to be the most comprehensive and authoritative English voice in professional cycling.
