Every cycling fan knows the sad story of Tom Simpson, who officially heralded the sad story of doping in cycling: Simpson collapsed during the 1967 Tour de France due to heart failure. Later it was determined that he was pumped full of amphetamines and alcohol. At the point where he collapsed, there is a memorial stone, where many cyclists stop and leave something behind, for example a water bottle.
