I don't know if he cheated or not, but he'd already won Tour de France stages, been been ranked #1 and won the World Cycling Championship before he was diagnosed with cancer. It appeared that he was improving, before things were derailed, and he certainly wasn't an unknown. I'd heard of him pre-cancer and I don't even follow cycling, as such.
