Über diesen Titel
The Sunday Times best-selling memoir from the Tour de France cyclist who lifts the lid on his drug use and return to sport.
By his 18th birthday David Millar was living and racing in France, sleeping in rented rooms, tipped to be the next English-speaking Tour winner. A year later he'd realised the dream and signed a professional contract. He perhaps lived the high life a little too enthusiastically - he broke his heel in a fall from a roof after too much drink and before long the pressure to succeed had tipped over into doping.
Here, in a full and frank autobiography, David Millar recounts the story from the inside: he doped because 'cycling's drug culture was like white noise', and because of peer pressure. 'I doped for money and glory in order to guarantee the continuation of my status.' Five years on from his arrest, Millar is clean and reflective and holds nothing back in this account of his dark years.

Intimate, Dark, Honest
Next to Tyler Hamiltons biography The Secret Race, this book certainly stands out among other riders stories. David Millar writes earnestly and displays his experience with a straightforward, yet pleasantly personal narrative. The reading performance can feel bit dramatic and stoic, making the story feel even darker, but once you get into it, it adds to the sinister atmosphere of that era in cycling. Certainly worth it. Though I wish he would have waited on his comments about the likes of Armstrong and Wiggins and the unravelling of cycling for a couple of years. His view on things would have been an interesting addition to this story. For anyone interested in a rider not just quoting the endless omerta of "never ever have i have ever doped", listen to this.
