Three words perfectly define the lifestyle of Lance Armstrong; championships, cancer, and cheating. Leading man Ben Foster tried to recreate Armstrong's victory and betrayal. He wanted to make full justice to the role that he compelled himself to take the toughest decision of his life. As a result, he discouraged other actors from following in his tire tracks. This act was completely similar to Armstrong's act.
He hid such thing from his cast and crew before and during filming. Foster pretended that he was pretending to take them as in Armstrong simply pretended not to take drugs. This is what he did to bring out the real character.
