Summary:
"Wheelmen reveals the broader story of how Armstrong and his supporters used money, power, and cutting-edge science to conquer the world's most diffcult race. It offers a riveting look at what happens when enigmatic genius breaks loose from the strictures of morality. Wheelmen reveals the competitiveness and ingenuity that sparked blood-doping as an accepted practice, and shows how the Americans methodically constructed an international operation of spies and revolutionary technology to reach the top. At last exposing the truth about Armstrong and American cycling, Wheelmen paints a living portrait of what is, without question, the greatest conspiracy in the history of sports"-- Provided by publisher.
