Fausto Coppi

Strategic Concepts & Mechanics

Primary Evidence

"Rest is not an option. When he really can't take it anymore, he helps himself with simpamina, which many used at the time. It was sold in pharmacies, even the domestiques of Fausto Coppi took it at the Giro. It helps to stay awake and focused. It is actually amphetamine, a drug in every respect, produced by Recordati and sold freely until 1972, without any prescription."
