Vanessa O'Connell - "WHEELMEN: the Tour de France, and the Greatest Sports Conspiracy Ever"

Lance Armstrong survived and thrived against near insurmountable odds and built a team of unprecedented accomplishment, but in the end, his own outsized ambition destroyed it. “Wheelmen” exposes the truth about Armstrong and the business of American cycling. Vanessa O'Connell has been an award-winning reporter at The Wall Street Journal for seventeen years, and has covered tobacco, alcohol, guns, insider trading, and the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. In Wheelmen, O'Connell and co-author Reed Albergotti paint a living portrait of what is, without question, the greatest conspiracy in the history of sports.
