'I view this situation as one big lie, and I repeated a lot of lies. As you said, it wasn't as if I just said 'no' and I moved on. While I've lived through this process... I know the truth. The truth isn't what was out there. The truth isn't what I said, and now it's gone.
'This story was so perfect for so long,' he continued. 'You overcome the disease [testicular cancer], you win the Tour De France, you have a happy marriage, you have children... all the fault and all the blame falls on me.'
