A revealing insight into the life of a professional cyclist in an era dominated by doping on an unprecedented scale. Now that Armstrong has admitted the truth of his doping and thus the truth of his critics who were right all along, I remain sceptical as to what Hamilton expects. He reports being surprised at being unwelcome on his return to cycling as he tried to find rides to see out the rest of his career. Whilst he did confess and perhaps there was animosity directed towards him from fans of Armstrong as well as the professional cycling world, on what basis does he expect a different reception? Hamilton was, when all is said and done, a cheat too. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in cycling.
