William Bock’s effort in investigating and exposing doping by Lance Armstrong is described in Wheelmen: Lance Armstrong, the Tour de France, and the Greatest Sports Conspiracy Ever (Gotham Books, 2013). The book describes the Armstrong saga from start to finish, including Bock’s interviews of Armstrong’s former teammates and prosecution of the case against the seventime winner of the Tour de France. Bock— partner at Kroger, Gardis & Regas in Indianapolis—led the legal effort as general counsel for the United States Anti-Doping Agency, and wrote the lengthy report, released in 2012, that chronicled the evidence the agency amassed against Armstrong. The report triggered the implosion of Armstrong’s financial and sporting empire and, eventually, led to removal of the president of the International Cycling Union. Bock is a frequent speaker on issues pertaining to ethics in sports and society.
