Wheelmen: Lance Armstrong, the Tour de France, and… di Reed Albergotti
This book was really interesting and well-written, and I read it throughout the course of a single day. But I feel like it was published too soon. Several times in the book the authors mention that the outcome hasn't been determined yet, or won't be known until 2014, etc. The paperback book's afterward contains more drama that clearly wasn't known as of the original publication of the book. It seems like the authors rushed this to press so it would still be timely, even though there were large holes in the plot (so to speak).… (altro)
Liked this as much as Cycle of Lies. The reporters in question worked on the Lance story all along so they bring an interesting perspective of what they were seeing along the way. Still find it an amazing story that he got away with it for so long. Loved the use of actual emails in telling the story.
I can remember watching several of Lance Armstrong's victories. His eventual admission of doping, inevitable as it seemed by that time, was highly disappointing. This book made me think a great deal more about the many people who were involved, for their own gain, in the whole conspiracy. It really makes you wonder about how clean any sport can really be. As soon as there's a way to catch the cheaters, there's another way to cheat.
Excellent recap of everything and everyone involved in this debacle. Well written, well researched and well balanced. Excellent outing. Recommend for anyone who wants the entire story of what happened here.
