Looks like this one is written and printed in English. Ballestre cast
aside?

<Central to the story is Lance Armstrong's relentless, all-consuming
drive to be the best. Also essential to this narrative is Floyd
Landis, the unassuming, sympathetic hero who was the first winner of
the Tour de France after Lance-and the first ever to face the threat
of having his title revoked. More than anything else, this book will
ignite anew the debate about whether there is room in the current
sports culture for athletes who compete honestly, whether sports can
be saved from a scandal as widespread as this, and what changes will
have to be made.
Simple. "Don't make rules you can't enforce through simple, race-day
testing". "Don't set up a situation where you can't catch those who
break your rules" except by "police work". Testing doesn't catch
dopers, police catch dopers? Shameful!
<With a compelling narrative and revelations that will stun,
enlighten, and haunt readers,
Well, maybe Lafferty. He's haunted, for sure.
< David Walsh addresses numerous questions that arise in that crucial
space where sports meet the larger American culture.
Yeah: "Don't be a little guy". Or, help you Jesus, a whistleblower.
"All will be purified for the Great Sponsor in the Sky." Well, not
really, nudge nudge wink wink. --D-y
