WHEELMEN – Lance Armstrong & The Greatest Sports Conspiracy
$20
Good to VG condition- slight crease on back cover.
Lance Armstrong won a record-smashing seven Tour de France yellow jerseys after staring down cancer, and in the process became an international symbol of resilience and courage. In a sport constantly dogged by blood doping scandals, Armstrong seemed above the fray. Never had cycling – or any sport—boasted such a charismatic and accomplished champion.
Then, in the summer of 2012, the legend imploded. The rumors that had long dogged Armstrong began to solidify. Buried evidence surfaced. Hushed-up witnesses came forth. Armstrong’s Tour victories were stripped from him. His sponsors abandoned him. And in a final disgrace, he resigned as chairman of his own foundation. In January 2013, Armstrong finally admitted doping during the Tours, and in an interview with Oprah, described his "mythic, perfect story" as "one big lie." But his admission raised more questions than it answered-- because he didn't say who had helped him dope or who had helped him to avoid getting caught.
