Thanks for the tip. Will need to find a copy of that book somewhere. Another really good read is Geoff Drake's "Team 7 Eleven" - couldn't put it down and read it all in one sitting! The money that 7-11 (Southland Corporation) poured into US cycling is astounding - they had plenty, making a billion $$ every 3-months in the early 80s
Edit: a friend over the weekend also recommended the Armstrong movie for the same reasons.
