Cycling's Cookie Monster and his Anti-Doping Crusade
Lance Armstrong and Floyd Landis... Two famous cyclists who cheated by taking drugs. Their actions still continue to haunt the sport to this day.
But some cyclists are continuing to fight doping. Phil Gaimon may not be a household name but he's become a recognisable figure on the tour.
The American has raced with dopers and against them but continues to speak out against cheaters. He has a bar of soap tattoo to remind people that he competed drug-free. He also attends races in the US and hands out cookies to riders and spectators during races.
Phil talks in length about his career in his new book, 'Draft Animals'.
