Köp båda 2 för 298 krHow doping killed cycling's 'golden boy'. A shocking, clear-sighted and sympathetic account of a talent destroyed by drugs. -- Melanie Reid * The Times * 'With his talent, Frank is the Johan Cruyff of cycling. He could win anything.' * Eddy Merckx * A stunning biography of this troubled individual. 320 pages of brilliance. * Washing Machine Post * Superb. A riveting, warts-an-all dive into a complex, deeply flawed rider and man during professional cycling's lowest ebb. * Cycling Plus * The fact that we know the tragically opaque ending of this story from the start is what lends such a devastating quality to McGrath's careful biography. Soberly told and with a clear affection for its wayward subject, McGrath's account explores the narcotically corrupting power of sport itself. -- Jonathan Liew * Guardian *
