A CONVERSATION WITH SEMAFOR'S REED ALBERGOTTI ABOUT THE LEGACY OF CYCLING'S DOPING ERA

Albergotti, along with Vanessa O'Connell, is the author of "Wheelmen: Lance Armstrong, the Tour de France, and the Greatest Sports Conspiracy Ever."

“Go F— Yourself.”

That’s the last thing Lance Armstrong ever said to investigative journalist and author Reed Albergotti.

Albergotti, a longtime investigative reporter, spent several years uncovering the vast doping conspiracy in professional cycling. Wheelmen is one of the best books about cycling – and sport – ever written. It’s not just about cycling, but about business, the law, and ethics.

Albergotti and I talk about the process of reporting out stories, writing the book, and what the doping scandals have meant for cycling, especially in the United States.
