Description

David Millar's autobiography is a candid and unflinching account of his life as a professional cyclist. From his early days sleeping in rented rooms in France to his rise to fame on the Tour de France, Millar recounts the highs and lows of his career, including the pressures that led him to doping. In this full and frank memoir, Millar reveals the inner workings of the sport's culture, where the temptation to cheat was overwhelming. He shares his own experiences of peer pressure and the consequences of his actions, including his arrest and subsequent rehabilitation. Five years after his arrest, Millar is clean and reflective, holding nothing back in this honest account of his dark years. Millar's story is a powerful exploration of the human cost of ambition and the struggle to overcome addiction.
