WINNER OF THE WILLIAM HILL SPORTS BOOK OF THE YEAR AWARD 2012 On a fateful night in 2009, Tyler Hamilton and Daniel Coyle met for dinner in Boulder, Colorado. The two had met five years before while Coyle was writing his bestselling book, Lance Armstrong- Tour de Force. But this time, Tyler had something else on his mind. He finally wanted to come clean, about everything- the doping, the lying, his years as Lance Armstrong's teammate on U.S. Postal, his decade spent running from the truth. 'I'm sorry,' he told Coyle.

  • Top bike book

    Searing, catgartic honesty from author on the almost orosaic doping practices going on in 90s top-flight cycling. You'll never believe a word Lance Armstrong says ever again.

  • The definitive story of the Armstrong doping from a participant who blew the whistle big-time.

    Really well written and believable. The anguish, agony and ecstasy of being an ace cyclist without the pain. A race-cycling book you'll keep on the shelf to read again and again.
