That leaves comedy, and here the movie fails utterly. Lately, Allen's gags have been small, sad efforts, not the gut-grabbing, head-hurting zingers of his youth.

...training and "his devotion to cycling," not doping. Yet the damage to his reputation, and that of the sport, may already have been done. "When you work so hard in the race and you manage to bring back the excitement of the sport to the people, it's sad [for this to happen]",says Jos?
