About this product

Product Information

At 9:30 pm on 14 February 2004, former Tour de France winner Marco Pantani was found dead in Rimini. It emerged that he had been addicted to cocaine since Autumn 1999, weeks after being expelled from the Tour of Italy for blood doping. Conspiracy theories abounded - that he was injected in his sleep by a business rival, that the Olympic Committee had framed him, that Italian Industrialists had engineered his downfall, etc etc. If none of these is entirely true and none of them fully explains Pantani's personal tragedy, none of them is foundationless. This book will debunk the myths and make surprising revelations. About Pantani's personal tragedy, but also about the world of cycling. Using court transcripts as well as interviews with close personal friends and colleagues, Matt Rendell will dare to tell the truth about the doping scandals inherent in all competetive sport today. But Pantani's life is about much more than drug addiction. Lance Armstrong described him as 'more of an artist than an athlete - an extravagant figure...' Despite being plagued with injuries he won both the Giro and the Tour in 1998, something very few cyclists even attempt. He was an inspirational icon, worshipped by many but sadly, in the end, unable to bear the burden of expectation.

  • Brillaint Book full of facts with no emotional attachment

    I bought this to find out about MP Well written and with attention to detail Great book, great writer

  • Well written and reserched.

    This biography, somewhat longwinded, is an excellent portrayel of the life and death of an extreemly talented but very fragile person. The book charts the rise and calamatious fall of a legend in cyclings heirarchy. He doped hugely during his time at the top of cycling as they all did but it was his obsession with crack cocaine off the bike that caused his demise. The book, well writen, go's into great and infinate detail about Pantani's blood results and lab tests. Its fasinating reading.
