About this product

Product Information

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 with the Cofidis team, who had one Lance Armstrong on their books. He perhaps lived the high life a little too enthusiastically - high on a roof after too much drink, he broke his heel in a fall 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.

  • Great read.

    If you like biographies then this might be worth a look. If you like road cycling it’s probably worth a look. If you like both, read it. I thoroughly enjoyed it, couldn’t put it down (apparently?).

  • An honest and to the point view of the life of a professional cyclist.

    As a cyclist of many (many) years who has just recently taken an interest in road racing, I thought this might be an interesting read, which it certainly was. A pretty gritty and individual view of the world of the professional cyclist. Possibly a little self indulgent in places, but I can live with that, given how Millar has had to find his own way. This is not a tell all expose, but much more a 'this is what happened to me' warts and all account. I found it an absorbing read, and a real eye opener.
