The cast is stellar and they have a riot. Who knew Cena could do comedy so well? Orlando Bloom was hilarious and I didn't recognise him at first! Tyson really have poke fun at himself, too.
The running gag, involving a certain well-known cyclist is really well done, too.
I think HBO may have struck a rich seam here. There are all kinds of sports stories that could be hilarious mockumentaries if they let Andy Sambergh loose on them.
Really, watch this!
I can only recommend "Tour de Pharmacy". Well done HBO!
I'm buying a bike tomorrow just because Gustov Ditters was such a an amazing cyclist he had to be played by several actors.
Some dude in a fur coat and cowboy hat was in it, not sure what he did in real life, he was blacked out and couldn't tell who he was, maybe you can.
An explanation of the performance enhancing drugs was highly scientific. Coming away from it I feel I can work in a drug lab now.
OK, gotta go get on my bike now. Byyyyyyeeeee.
This mockumentary is funny and it shows a lot of the cycling world's problems, in a crazy way. There are a lot of problems and it must have been easy to find stuff for this mockumentary. The cast is great with Orlando Bloom, Danny Glover, Kevin Bacon, Dolph Lundgren and many more. Lance Armstrong's role is spot on! It's only about 37 funny minutes but I don't think they could have made it longer. 37 funny minutes is enough! I give it 7 out of 10.

Stu Ruckman: In the autopsy, they found Juju was on EPO and cocaine, also some Insulin and Anabolic Steroids, Oxabolone, and, then Nandrolone, trace amounts of Norethandorlene and Furazabol. They even found some Heroin in his system. There was also Letrozole, Cyclazadone, some Estrogen Receptor Modulators, Raaloxifene and Tamoxifen, probably to ward off breast growth. A lot of Oxycodone in his blood. Phentermine, as well, Ortemamine, Bunolol, Lobatealol. Plus, apparently he had hopped Ethanol and taken a couple of MDAs. He clearly smoked some Crystal Meth and Crack and there was a Hormone from monkey testicles that he had cooked down into a broth that he drank. He also had apparently eaten at least one sandwich at Arby's.
