Default Casting call for the Lance Armstrong Story

OK, time for all you casting directors to lay down your chops.
Who will play best in Lance's made for prime time cheesy movie?
Here are my thoughts:

WHO WILL PLAY KIK, BOB ROLL, CARMICHAEL, LANCE'S MOM?

I mean the movie is to be based on the book, right?
My nominations:

Armstrong--Matt Damon
C Carmichael-- Kevin Costner
Kik Armstrong--Cameron Diaz
Lance's first girlfriend--Sandra Bullock
Johan Bruyneel--Ben Affleck
Linda Armstrong--Ashley Judd
Kevin Livingston--Jude Law
Paul Sherwen as himself
Head of Cofidis Team--Gene Hackett
Lance's doctor--Robin Williams
Lance's famous chemo nurse--Beyonce
and featuring Bob Roll as HIMSELF obviously!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cameos by Cipollini as himself, Hincapie as himself, Jonathan Vaughters by Pee Wee Herman, you get the picture, eh?!?! etc.
Other thoughts?

I'll overlook that demeaning reference, but YES if you mean Dr Ferrari DeNiro would be great.
But he's not in the book, so...
But just for fun who would play Simeoni, Adam Sandler?

Gerard Depardieu as Jean Marie-LeBlanc ?

Hugh Grant as a bumbling Englishman trying to woo an American girl ? (not that there are any bumbling Englishmen in cycling but it would make a good sideline story....)

How about Marcel Marceau as the frustrated Frenchman hopelessly trying someway to communicate to everyone that he has proof Armstrong is doping.
We can cast him as Agent Flyer.
