This film seems propitious given that it comes at a time when the sporting world is in the grip of a possible doping allegation on Maria Sharapova, the tennis princess who everyone thought ‘could do no wrong’. Whatever the technicalities of that allegation may be, this film digs deep to unravel the mysteries of cheating employed by Lance Armstrong and his team enroute to winning pole position seven times at the most prestigious cycling event in the world - The Tour De France.
