How to Watch the Lance 30 for 30 Doco Instantly


Despite having two hugely successful documentaries made about his scandalous cycling career, Lance Armstrong remains a magnet in the genre. This ESPN 30 for 30 double header is something of a sequel to the first two, showing Lance as he pieces together his shattered reputation. Find out how to watch it right here.

Lance 30 for 30 TV Preview

The story of the most controversial cyclist of all time is so enthralling that ESPN had given it another angle. Lance Armstrong rocked the cycling world after beating testicular cancer to become a seven-time Tour De France winner. Doping was rife within the sport at the time, and for many years Armstong denied that he was using performance-enhancing drugs, even though suspicions were high.

But that all changed when he came clean live on Oprah. It is at this time that Armstrong reinvented himself, and hoped to change the way people viewed him in light of what he had done — which was basically cheating his way to millions of dollars worth of sponsorship deals and prize money!

Ablett: One Special Season (Foxtel and Kayo)

In the early 1990s, Gary Ablett Senior had seemingly fallen out of love with AFL. So much so that in 1992, after a season of injuries and personal problems, he decided to call it a day. But, in 1993, Gary was offered a different role in his beloved Geelong team, in a different position – and what followed was one of the most phenomenal seasons for an individual player in AFL history.

In 2013, Mick Fanning only needed to make it to the semi-finals at Pipe to become a World Champion for the third time.

Watch Mick Fanning – Lightning Strikes Thrice for free with Kayo’s 14 day free trial.

Rodman – For Better or Worse (Foxtel and Kayo)
