"Startling facts

Throughout the book, the reader learns startling facts, such as: Armstrong's heart is one-third larger than most males', and that his body is able to process lactic acid (the stuff that makes muscles burn) far more efficiently than other cyclists. Lance's engine, Doyle says, can produce more power with less pain, making him "the alpha, the meanest, the toughest"
