Top film studios are reportedly planning to make a film about the rise and fall of grace of famous cyclist Lance Armstrong.
Fellow cyclist Tyler Hamilton's book, 'The Secret Race', that revealed the facts on doping in the sport, is being pitched to moviemakers in Hollywood, The Sun reports.
"Most sports films end in an inspirational victory. It's hard to work out what the ending would be," a source said.
According to the paper, names are already being taken into consideration to play disgraced drug cheat Armstrong, with Matt Damon topping the list for the role.
However, it the lack of a happy ending in the story is creating a problem.
"Lance was a hero before this scandal. The current ending is too depressing. It would be a more appealing story with a more hopeful final," the source added.
