For Armstrong, drugs added an extra element of competition to the sport: the competition to be the person who made the best use of drugs....
When he thought other athletes were taking drugs not available to him ... he informed the authorities and asked that they be checked out....
Accusing Armstrong of doping always seemed in desperately poor taste, given what he had been through. Armstrong himself exploited this advantage ruthlessly....
One of Armstrong's many exquisite hypocrisies was an ongoing suspicion of riders who spent too much time in Spain: he was afraid that they might be taking advantage of the inattention of the local authorities to try out new treatments. If he thought you were a little too fond of "Spanish practices", he would notify his friends in the UCI to warn them.
