Wheelmen : Lance Armstrong, the Tour de France, and the greatest sports conspiracy ever / Reed Albergotti and Vanessa O'Connell. by Albergotti, Reed. Gotham Books, [2013] Call #: 796.62092 A736a Subjects Armstrong, Lance.   Armstrong, Lance -- Drug use.   U.S. Postal Cycling Team.   Tour de France (Bicycle race)   Cyclists -- Drug use.   Cyclists -- United States -- Biography.   Cancer -- Patients -- United States -- Biography.   Doping in sports. ISBN:  9781592408481 (hc.) 1592408486 (hc.) Description:  xvii, 364 pages : illustrations ; 24 cm. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references and index. Summary:  "The first in-depth look at Lance Armstrong's doping scandal, the phenomenal business success built on the back of fraud, and the greatest conspiracy in the history of sports Lance Armstrong won a record-smashing seven Tours de France after staring down cancer. In a sport constantly dogged by blood-doping scandals, he seemed above the fray. Then, in January 2013, the legend imploded. He admitted doping during the Tours and, in an interview with Oprah, described his "mythic, perfect story" as "one big lie." In Wheelmen the authors reveal the broader story of how Armstrong and his supporters used money, power, and cutting-edge science to conquer the world's most diffcult race. Wheelmen introduces U.S. Postal Service Team owner Thom Weisel, who in a brazen power play ousted USA Cycling's top leadership and gained control of the sport in the United States, ensuring Armstrong's dominance. Meanwhile, sponsors fought over contracts with Armstrong as the entire sport of cycling began to benefit from the "Lance effect." What had been a quirky, working-class hobby became the pastime of the Masters of the Universe set. A riveting look at what happens when enigmatic genius breaks loose from the strictures of morality."--Provided by publisher. Other authors:  O'Connell, Vanessa.
