This new edition of the cycling classic features anew preface, together with additional chapters reflecting on the author's life both inside and outside the sport.

It was about gruelling defeats, complete and utter exhaustion - and it was about drugs. Not drugs that would ensure victory, but drugs that would allow you to finish the race and start another day. Paul Kimmage lett the sport to write this book. It is a powerful and frank account that breaks the law of silence surrounding the issue of doping. An eye-opening exposé and a heartbreaking lament, this is a book that anyone interested in any sport should read. Vissza
