From the article:


... Compare this with the classic Tour moment when Irishman Stephen
Roche reached the finish of a mountain stage in La Plagne. He
crossed
the line, then fell to the ground; unable to move for 30 minutes, he
could
communicate with doctors only by blinking, and was finally
stretchered
off into an ambulance. The next morning he jumped back on the bike
for another 116 mountainous miles, and went on to win the race ...

and he did it all on muesli, pasta, water, and HARD WORK

EPO was very experimental still in 1987, but blossomed in TulipReich

I'm pretty sure he was given oxygen out of a bottle at the finish of
that mountain stage.

How long does it take to blink O-X-Y-G-E-N in Morse code?

He was really trying to blink out: "Oxygen? No, no, get it away from me!
That stuff's performance enhancing!" but everyone's attention span was
too short.
