Breaking the Chain : Drugs and Cycling - The True Story

Rating:
Summary: Disappointing
Review: Breaking the Chain was a truely disappointing book for me. Although the sub-title is "the true story" it seemed that the text reflected more innuendo than it did "truth" concerning drug use in the cycling world. In a time when the cycling world is trying to get back on it's feet after being rocked with gossip about drug use (particularly EPO), the book seems to add to, rather than take away from, the culture of rumor. I finished the book with the feeling that the author wrote it not to inform the world of drug use in professional cycling, but rather as a means of making money (now that he was without employment). I am sorry that I may have contributed to his retirement fund by purchasing the book.
