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, and in the process became an international symbol of resilience and courage.

The authors take an in-depth look at the doping scandal, the phenomenal business success built on the back of fraud, and the greatest conspiracy in the history of sports
