“The digital shift is not inevitable. It is a choice. It is time to choose wisely.” Yves Pigneur , Forword.

The cycling champion Lance Armstrong was at the heart of a doping system that gave
rise to one of the most important scandals the sports world has ever known. Numerous studies
have been devoted to the topic, adopting a medical, ethical, legal or psychological point of view.
However, no research has addressed the organizational dimensions of an extremely sophisticated
doping system that allowed Lance Armstrong to win seven successive Tours de France. The
objective of this paper is to propose a reflection on these underestimated organizational
dimensions, in particular as regards the management of the supply of doping products during the
different stages (“étapes”) of the Tours de France. Beyond the specific case of doping in
professional cycling, lessons can be drawn on the understanding of the logistical mechanisms
related to the traffic of illicit substances.
