Why doesn’t the UCI enforce the rules? What’s more, JV was twitchy when it came to the doping, he was always worried about police, or testers. He didn’t just do whatever Lance and Johan said. With his probing mind, JV wasn’t the kind of guy to accept doping at face value. Jonathan Vaughters was probably the best example of this. “But one of the biggest ways to piss off Lance was to complain about doping. I found the answer to some of them, for example, if doping levelled off, or not, the performance, if Lance Armstrong was a victim or perpetrator, the treatment that was reserved for those who didn’t follow the rule of doping. Personally I had several questions in mind before reading the book. From a narrative point of view it is well structured, but the story is so very compelling that it could be written in code and still keep you glued for hours (it is the book that forced Lance Armstrong to confess to the use of banned performance-enhancing substances or doping.) ![]() For anyone passionate about sport and cycling in particular, this is a must-have book. ![]()
