Read the book last night for the first time.

If you don't believe that drugs are part of the culture of pro cycling please please read this book.

Holy ****

It is a very good read.
It goes in to great detail about cocktails like Pot Belge

I read the book several years ago and now that you have mentioned it, I'd like to read it again.

Goes into the ugly, dirty aspects of the sport. Cheating beyond just doping. But he spills his guts and it makes for a very compelling read. More than Rough Ride, or Crooked Path to Victory. Appreciated his honesty about Chaley Mottet, Gilles Delion, and of course Christophe Bassons, saying they were probably cheated out of the sport.
