The Journalist Who Exposed the Dope

In case you missed it, Ben Foster will be playing Lance Armstrong in the biopic that The Queen’s Stephen Frears is directing from a script by Trainspotting’s John Hodge – that is now confirmed.

Joining him – and this you may not have known – will be Chris O’Dowd.

The Bridesmaids breakout – who has a part in the upcoming Thor: The Dark World and is gearing up for his Broadway debut opposite James Franco in Of Mice and Men – is co-starring with Foster in the Armstrong project, which is currently in production.

The Irishman is playing David Walsh, a journalist who was quite fond of the cyclist but ultimately became a key figure in Armstrong’s fall from grace.
