The SUNDAY TIMES bestselling memoir from the Tour de France cyclist who lifts the lid on his drug use and return to sport.
David Millar was born in Malta in 1977. He has won stages of the Tour de France and Tour of Spain. He is now a part-owner of the Garmin-Chipotle team and a key figure of the World Anti-doping Agency's athletes committee. Jeremy Whittle's Bad Blood was shortlisted for the William Hill Sports Book of the Year Award in 2008. He writes on cycling for The Times, Financial Times and L'Equipe. He has known David Millar for 15 years.
Millar is never less than candid in a memoir that is part
confessional, part catharsis.
*THE SCOTSMAN*
His description of that agonising 2010 mountain stage, during which
he scoured the depths of his soul while falling helplessly behind
the rest of the field, deserves to stand among the great
first-person accounts of sporting experience.
*THE GUARDIAN*
His career almost destroyed by a doping scandal in 2004, the
cycling champion faces his demons in this eloquent and revelatory
memoir. Millar's gutsy slog to restore his reputation is
inspirational.
*THE SUNDAY TELEGRAPH SEVEN Magazine*
This is the superbly narrated story of one man's evolution from
talented ingenue to disillusioned doper and back again... one of
the very best snapshots of professional cycling in the
noughties.
*OUTDOOR FITNESS*
Highly articulate, Millar has written a courageously combative book
that both exposes the conditions that create drug cheating and
explains how his sport has to confront those conditions if it is to
break from this most murky of pasts.
*PHILOSOPHY FOOTBALL*
The thoughtful British doper-turned-campaigner delivers an
eloquent, highly rated memoir about life in troubled peloton.
*THE INDEPENDENT*
