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.

picked this book up last weekend by chance after reading a review in a sports magazine.
Its a brilliant read and will keep you hooked throughout. You would think it is fiction rather than fact and written to an excellent standard.
Much more than a biog, its gives you an excellent insight to how much cyclists put themselves on the line and the training they go through.

The fact he was top of the tree and fell dramatically from grace makes it all much more interesting.
It will also make you want to get on a bike, start cycling and visit spain, italy and southern france.

highly recommnded and one of the best sports biog books to date.
PS: you dont have to be a cycling nut to love this book
