Doping and Cycling

The sport of cycling continues to be dogged by allegations of doping. French officials are probing Tour de France champion Lance Armstrong's U.S. Postal team. And a one-time junior champion, claims in a suit against a former coach that he was systematically injected with dangerous drugs as a teenager without his knowledge. He claims his health and career were ruined and that other young cyclists may have been affected in the same way. NPR's Tom Goldman reports.
