Cycle of Lies: The Fall of Lance Armstrong par Juliet Macur
4.5 stars- This book is meticulously researched and expertly written. I was familiar with Armstrong's story before I read this book, but there were still instances in this book that made be gasp out loud and I definitely shook my head in disbelief more than a few times at the brazen nature of Armstrong's hubris. There is a line on page 402 that reads, " He isn't sorry for lying." That pretty much sums it up. Armstrong is a bully, liar, cheat and one of the few characters I have come in contact with who had zero redeemable qualities. I looked up the definition for sociopath this is what I found: "a person with a psychopathic personality whose behavior is antisocial, often criminal, and who lacks a sense of moral responsibility or social conscience" - the only thing that surprised me was that Lance Armstrong's picture was not posted next to the definition. Another great read about this subject is [b:The Secret Race: Inside the Hidden World of the Tour de France: Doping, Cover-ups, and Winning at All Costs|15823426|The Secret Race Inside the Hidden World of the Tour de France Doping, Cover-ups, and Winning at All Costs|Tyler Hamilton|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1344963275s/15823426.jpg|21553734] by [a:Tyler Hamilton|6895821|Tyler Hamilton|https://www.goodreads.com/assets/nophoto/user/m_50x66-e89fc14c32a41c0eb4298dfafe929b65.png]. Highly recommend both that book and this book if you are at all interested in the details of the worst sports cheating scandal of all time.… (plus d'informations)

wareagle78 | 3 autres critiques | Dec 6, 2014 | Interesting to read what people were thinking and doing while the public information was out there. No real new information, but confirmation of all the rumours that have been a part of cycling and specifically Lance Armstrong and the Tour forever.
