But if corroborating evidence exists, then it adds to the book's
credibility. I've seen numerous documentaries and I've read many
in-depth articles over the years about the Tour's "drug problem", and
while LA has never been caught, he's certainly involved. If you can read
French, there's a wealth of info on the Web (and I'm talking about real
journalism here, not blogs or personal sites).
BTW, I don't care if these athletes use drugs. It would be nice if we
*knew* they were all drug-free, or *knew* they were all doped, but I
don't know if it will ever be possible to be sure one way or the other...
