Paul Kimmage's boyhood dreams were of cycling glory - winning races, wearing the yellow jersey, cycling the Tour de France, becoming a national hero. He knew it wouldn't come easy, he was prepared to put in the graft and so he spent his teenage years cycling an average of 100 miles a week. The dedication began to pay off. He won junior races, represented his country and in 1984 he became a professional cyclist. That's when reality hit. He soon discovered that it wasn't about glory and courage and it wasn't about how much training you put in or how much you wanted to succeed. 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 left the sport to write this book. It is a powerful and frank account that breaks the law of silence that surrounds the issue of drugs in sport. An eye-opening expose and a heartbreaking lament it is a book that any person interested in any sport should read.
