I just finished reading a book entitled 'Lance Armstrong's War'
It was a brilliant book about the 2004 tour
I learn't loads of stuff about the Tour and riding in the Tour
Things like the riders consume 9000 calories each day
The equivalent to eating 28 hamburgers each day
I was so intrigued I wanted to know more
So I googled
Ty Hamilton, Floyd Landis, Jan Ullrich
one by one nearly all the names I read about in this book
people that come across as heros becuse they are so bloody tough
nearly all of them have been done for doping
kinda left me feeling a little deflated
