Fignon on doping,

copied excerpt--

In the book, Fignon admitted to doping, describing drug-taking in the
1980s as widespread. He said it was recreational rather than
performance-enhancing -- aided by the strong Colombian involvement in
cycling at the time and accompanied by large quantities of cocaine.

Is cocaine a performance enhancer for a bike racer? I confess (blushes
sheepishly) to never having tried the stuff.


Jacques Anquetil and a few thousand race horses seemed OK
with it.
