From wikipedia it looks like Coppi was a fairly heavy amphetamines user. I guess some things never change.

I just joined this forum recently and I am not paid by or working for anyone related to Greg, Lance, or anyone related to cycling. But it does seem a bit of a drag that things are so one-sided on the Greg-Lance thing. I have felt motivated to post in favor of Lance just to add some balance...
