Lance Armstrong says Uber investment has 'saved' his family
6 December 2018 Cycling
Lance Armstrong says an early investment in Uber has "saved" his family after paying out $111m (£86.8m) in legal fees and settlements.
The American, 47, was stripped of his seven Tour de France titles and banned from cycling for life in 2012 before admitting to using performance-enhancing drugs.
He says he gave $100,000 (£78,212) to a venture capital fund that invested in the ride-hailing app in 2010.
"It's saved our family," he told CNBC.
