Tour de Pharmacy is a made-of-television mockumentary (a fake documentary) sports film directed by Jake Szymanski and written by Murray Miller. Additional characters are Nathan Fielder, Dolph Lungdren, Joe Buck, Julia Ormond, Maya Rudolph, Jeff Goldblum and Kevin Bacon. This 2017 film has a lot of humor and is starring Andy Samberg, Orlando Bloom, Freddie Highmore, Daveed Digs and John Cena. It makes a critic about doping in cyclist in just 38 minutes and it is hard not to laugh when watching it. This film shows a made-up Tour de France back in 1982 in which only five bikers participate due to the fact that all the other competitors have been disqualified as a result of doping. Lance Armstrong and Marco Pantani are represented in Tour de Pharmacy.
Seriously, this mockumentary was born as a way to denounce doping in a sport which had created more headlines by it rather than the pedaling itself. Doping cases in the Tour started in 1924 when Henri and Francis Pelissier admitted the use of cocaine, chloroform and many more illegal substances to face physical efforts better. However, doping in the Tour de France has continued in cases such as Bjarne Riis, Jan Ulrich, Alberto Contador (who lost one tour) or Floyd Landis (who also lost one tour).
