Paul Kimmage travels to Pennsylvania to meet former professional cyclist Floyd Landis 20 years on from when he won the Tour de France, only to be busted for doping just days later. Landis ultimately came clean, exposing systematic doping within the sport involving former teammate Lance Armstrong.

In Part 1 of this Irish Independent three-part documentary, Landis discusses his upbringing in a Mennonite community and how cycling provided him an alternative life to the one he was reared in.

Part 2 will be released this Wednesday on the Irish Independent YouTube channel.
