• Goofs The film mentions the coverage of the race by "France 2" channel. France 2 was created in 1992, in 1982 it was called "Antenne 2".

Stu Ruckman : In the autopsy, they found Juju was on EPO and cocaine, also some Insulin and Anabolic Steroids, Oxabolone, and, then Nandrolone, trace amounts of Norethandorlene and Furazabol. They even found some Heroin in his system. There was also Letrozole, Cyclazadone, some Estrogen Receptor Modulators, Raaloxifene and Tamoxifen, probably to ward off breast growth. A lot of Oxycodone in his blood. Phentermine, as well, Ortemamine, Bunolol, Lobatealol. Plus, apparently he had hopped Ethanol and taken a couple of MDAs. He clearly smoked some Crystal Meth and Crack and there was a Hormone from monkey testicles that he had cooked down into a broth that he drank. He also had apparently eaten at least one sandwich at Arby's.

Tour de Pharmacy review: An enjoyable, ridiculous, yet uneasy satire of cycling's dark past

We review the latest HBO mockumentary, this time aimed at cycling: Tour de Pharmacy

• Sign up to our newsletter Newsletter

When a HBO mockumentary is released lampooning a fictional 1982 drug-fuelled Tour de France (four days after the current world champion was disqualified from the current Tour), you can’t help but laugh in uneasy contemplation of both the timing, and whether it flies too closely to the burn.

Taking place during the ‘iconic’ (but sadly fictional) 82’ Tour where all but five riders were disqualified for doping and caught bribing UCI president Kevin Bacon, we follow a motley crew of actors alongside creators Andy Samberg and Murray Miller on their whirlwind Tour de Pharmacy .

Riding in at a brisk pace of 39 minutes, packed to the roof with star cameos and vulgar gags, this jaunt from the genius behind Popstar: Never Stop Never Popping is less a full-blown feature and more a handful of comedy skits dumped together with loose affinity.

Who knew that the theft of Mike Tyson’s bike in his younger years led to a career in boxing as “I was better at punching people than cycling, and when I caught that thief well…”; it’s unique quirky moments like this (and also humorous blatant lies throughout the mockumentary) that create a believable grounding for the fake 1982 Tour in the annals of cycling history.

Standout moments include Orlando Bloom getting punched for causing a huge peloton crash in an early stage, and its hard not to laugh at similar thoughts perhaps going through the mind of Geraint Thomas in previous stages of the 2017 Tour.

It’s only when WWE wrestler John Cena (playing Austrian cyclist Gustav Ditters) body slams a fellow naked cyclist that the fight calms and racing begins once again…

Tour de Pharmacy never holds a punch, as cyclists die from falling off cliffs with their genitals out, and ‘modern’ interviews interspersed for exposition feature outlandish cyclists such as Dolph Lundgren and Jeff Goldblum.

Our very own publication is parodied at one point as ‘Peloton Weekly’ asks if the Tour will be cancelled due to a lack of competitors, though overall the biggest cameo and jarring piece of satire goes to Big Tex himself.

“The last thing I need is to be seen on TV talking about doping again,” Lance Armstrong coyly jokes halfway through, in half-blacked out interview lighting that leaves little to the imagination about who the ‘mysterious drug informer’ actually is.

Is this documentary a stop on the redemption tour for Lance after his ultimate acceptance of his actions? Or does his role in the film feel nothing more than a cheap smirk at the years of harm, disrepute and discredit his actions caused the sport of cycling?

Satire often reflects the uncomfortable truth that we can’t voice ourselves, instead choosing to poke fun at something that could cause offence.

The irony of casting an actor from a background of pro wrestling - a ‘sport’ which features just as much finger pointing as cycling - is hardly lost.

The fact that Tour de Pharmacy was created shows the vast difference between public perception and our own ideas of pro cycling, and perhaps we’re a long way to go until being received as a clean sport by the man on the street.

Ultimately though my thoughts would be to watch this with your non-cycling friends, and reassure them that just like the film Borat , the antics in Tour de Pharmacy are hardly commonplace or reflective of real life.

In a mockumentary where only five cyclists compete at the slowest pace possible in the fictional 1982 Tour de France (as nobody wants to do all the drafting work at the front), you can’t help but chuckle at the obscenity of it all.

With the BBC commentator cycling alongside the riders performing ‘live on-bike’ interviews during the race, it raises the question whether Carlton Kirby and Sean Kelly should take a hint for the 2018 Tour de France and jump on the back of a moto alongside Greg Van Avermaet.

Tour de Pharmacy is an outright bonkers mockumentary that is sure to strike a nerve with the hardiest of cycling fans, though raises both serious contemplative moments and serious smiles in the deconstruction of cycle sport. For the most part, it’s an overly enjoyable watch.

Ultimately, we end on Lance Armstrong proudly stating “put any year of the Tour under a microscope, and you’ll find some dirt”.

Whilst this obscenely ironic farewell is a bitter pill for the audience to swallow, uttered by the perpetrator who is the biggest reason for the global controversy that spawned this HBO work of satire, you can’t help but reflect on past decades of the Tour and consider that there’s a glimmer of truth in this closing moment.

‘Tour De Pharmacy’ Trailer: HBO Sets Andy Samberg’s Bike Race Mockumentary For Summer

Hold on to your helmets, biking fans: HBO is bringing the none-too-serious Tour de Pharmacy to a circuit near you. The premium channel said today the one-off mockumentary starring Andy Samberg will premiere at 10 PM July 8. Watch the teaser trailer above.

Written by Murray Miller ( Girls ), the comedy special details the Tour de France during “a dark and fictitious time in cycling history.” Here’s the logline: In 1982, the sport’s most venerable, time-honored race was marred by the doping of virtually all of its competitors. Riddled with nefarious characters, that year’s competition was a hornet’s nest of moral depravity. Through the perspective of five riders, Tour de Pharmacy gives an inside look into the grim realities of the darkest event in a sport notoriously tainted by controversy.

Samberg and Murray also exec produce the 50-minute special along with David Bernad. Jake Szymanski directed Tour de Pharmacy , which features appearances by John Cena, Daveed Diggs, Orlando Bloom, Freddie Highmore, Jeff Goldblum, Danny Glover, Julia Ormond, Dolph Lundgren, James Marsden, Kevin Bacon, Nathan Fielder, Will Forte, Maya Rudolph, Joe Buck, Mike Tyson, J.J. Abrams, Phylicia Rashad, Chris Webber, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje and “one anonymous informant” (pssst: it’s Lance Armstrong).

Now streaming on:

Cycling mockumentary “Tour De Pharmacy” doesn’t aim to be more than pure, uncut silliness—composited of famous faces in goofy wigs and irreverent humor—and that hardly proves a deficiency. With a running time of 39 minutes, it's double the length of Louis Malle ’s famous and much more serious Tour De France short doc "Vive le Tour," but it can be just as captivating in its own way.

Written by Murray Miller , this treasure trove of goofy gems is about the Tour De France in 1982, in which an entire roster of racers was knocked down to five once it was discovered that everyone was doping. Director Jake Szymanski ’s film focuses on the five that remained. Characters include Daveed Diggs’ Slim Robinson character, who is obsessed with being known as “the first black something,” like his famous uncle, Jackie. Then there’s Andy Samberg as Marty, the “first African” to join the Tour De France, even though it becomes clear that he’s a obnoxious American kid who only lives in Niger because his parents own a diamond mine. John Cena plays an aggressive Austrian rider who in the previous year was skin-and-bones before he did steroids; Freddie Highmore portrays a woman (portrayed by Julia Ormond in modern-day interviews) who pretended to be a man in order to race. With its main characters in particular, "Tour De Pharmacy" gets a lot of mileage with the way it pokes at the white male privilege at the center of such a sporting event. 

As a sports narrative, Szymanski vaguely follows the bizarre events of this very fake race but lets the comedy be steered by character development and hilarious side observations from talking heads. Like his previous tennis mockumentary "Seven Days in Hell," the taste for straight-up silliness thrives well beyond its initial sport. 

Explaining what is specifically funny about a film like this is like listing off musical notes to describe a melody, but I can say that what the film wants to do it does very well; the revolving door of celebrities playing oddball characters is always a great factor, my biggest laughs coming from the legendary Maya Rudolph and the immaculately droll Nathan Fielder. It’s a surprising ensemble of brief cameos here and there but has the neatness where performances are fleshed out for the time they are needed. There are plenty of other people of note, too, like Jeff Goldblum , Dolph Lundgren , Kevin Bacon , Danny Glover , Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje and even J.J. Abrams (the latter who can be seen singing the praises of " Juwanna Mann .") The only unamusing talking head? Lance Armstrong , whose appearance as a doping expert is like a teeth-gnashing epilogue for his sleaziness in real-life documentaries like " The Armstrong Lie ."

The 39-minute running time is one feature that nags the project, despite the story's intention to be as fleeting as it is goofy. It has such adrenaline that you imagine it could be longer, and the movie doesn't give much to take away aside from memories of laughing. But for a small project that merely wants to be silly, it comes down to speed: a good feature comedy is roughly laugh-a-minute stuff, and this does well with its half-length—a laugh every 30 seconds, often a big one, sounds about accurate. As a piece of entertainment that primarily aims to distract and delight, it’s can’t-pass-up goofiness.

Exploring the Varied Dimensions of Tuberculosis

From Congenital Tuberculosis to Pneumoconiosis

Tuberculosis (TB) is a global health concern caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis. While pulmonary TB is the most well-known form, there are several other facets of TB that deserve attention. In this article, we will delve into various aspects of TB, including Congenital Tuberculosis, Pneumoconiosis, Tuberculosis-related consequences, and Silicotuberculosis. We will explore their causes, symptoms, risk factors, and preventive measures.

Congenital Tuberculosis

Congenital Tuberculosis is a rare but serious condition in which a newborn is infected with TB bacteria during pregnancy or delivery. This occurs when a pregnant woman with active TB passes the bacteria to her unborn child through the placenta or during childbirth.

Special Offer

The symptoms of Congenital Tuberculosis can vary but often include fever, lethargy, poor feeding, cough, and difficulty breathing. Because newborns' immune systems are underdeveloped, they are more susceptible to severe forms of TB.

Congenital Tuberculosis requires immediate medical attention and treatment with appropriate anti-TB medications. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial to improving the chances of recovery.

What we offer

Pneumoconiosis

Pneumoconiosis is a group of lung diseases caused by inhaling various types of mineral dust and particles, often in occupational settings. Coal workers' pneumoconiosis (CWP) and silicosis are common forms of this disease. While not caused directly by TB, individuals with pneumoconiosis are at higher risk for TB infection due to lung damage and compromised respiratory function.

Symptoms of Pneumoconiosis

The symptoms of Pneumoconiosis can include chronic cough, shortness of breath, chest pain, and reduced exercise tolerance. Over time, the disease can progress and lead to respiratory failure.

Symptoms of tuberculosis-related consequences.

Symptoms may include persistent cough, shortness of breath, fatigue, and recurrent respiratory infections. These consequences can significantly impact a person's daily life and overall well-being.

The treatment of TB-related consequences involves managing symptoms and providing supportive care to improve the patient's quality of life. Patients may require oxygen therapy, pulmonary rehabilitation, and treatment for coexisting conditions.

Silicotuberculosis

Silicotuberculosis is a specific form of tuberculosis that affects individuals who have been exposed to silica dust, commonly found in certain occupational settings such as mining and construction. Silica dust can damage the lungs and increase the risk of TB infection.

Symptoms are similar to those of regular TB and may include persistent cough, fever, night sweats, and weight loss. Individuals with silicotuberculosis often face more severe forms of TB infection.

TB Vaccination: Some countries offer the Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccine to protect against TB, although its effectiveness varies. Infection Control: In healthcare and congregate settings, rigorous infection control measures, such as proper ventilation and personal protective equipment, can help reduce TB transmission. Occupational Safety: In workplaces where exposure to dust and particles is common, strict adherence to safety guidelines and the use of protective equipment are essential. TB Treatment: Ensuring that TB patients receive adequate and timely treatment is crucial to preventing the spread of the disease and reducing the risk of complications.
