Hell On Wheels - Awesome German documentary that follows Erik Zabel and the Deutsche Telekom team. Used to be on netflix? May still be.

The Armstrong Lie - Or any other of the half dozen movies on Armstrong, along with the book Wheelmen.

Road to Roubaix - Good doc on the Paris Roubaix race.

There are several amazing documentaries about Lance: The Armstrong Lie, Stop at Nothing. Also, there's a book called Wheelmen.

TL;DR- Lance doped his whole career, he did non-drug methods (blood doping) as well as drugs (EPO, HGH).

Also, Game of Shadows highlights BALCO and the whole doping scandal that brought down Bonds, Marion Jones, A-Rod, and several others.

All this being said, yes, pretty much everyone is doping to some degree. However, people still discredit the athlete.

Just because you take steroids doesn't mean you will be come Barry, Lance, Usain, or any other athlete.

Remember, in Lance's case, everyone was doping but he was still at the top. Even on PED's, you have to bust your ass to be the elite of the elite.

I still like Lance and don't look down on him for his accomplishments; He did tremendous things with Livestrong back in the day--same with Bonds/etc etc.

TL;DR - you can take steroids, but it's not going to do shit if you don't put in the work to be elite
