Amphetamines were over- the-counter stimulants, less powerful than aspirin . Coppi the greatest ever was an such an unbelievable outclass than any substance would have been deletery to him, he needed anything to be the extra world champ he was. Armstrong was just the opposite , nothing but an arrogant cheater who would have been less than zero without the help of Epo. An abyssal difference, american fans should face it after all this time ....
Fausto Coppi himself confessed to taking amphetamines while racing.
Juan0003 it didn't matter back then, everyone took these kinds of drugs
I agree, but then couldn't you say the same thing about Lance?

Fausto was doper too
Only for clueless newcomers. Fausto Coppi the greatest of all times never was a doper, doping didnt exist in that era.
Back then they all took amphetamines and pain killers. They called the amphetamines “la bomba” - same drug pilots would use on long bombing runs.
