When he was at the top of his game and maximally jacked up on dope he was pounding people like Henry
describes. Now he's nowhere near the top of his game, he's been invisible for an extended period of
time. And he's still one of the best riders on a brutally hard Giro stage. I'll bet he's as jacked
up as he ever was.
