Book Review: Drugs in Cycling - The true story.
Summary: 5 Stars
Willy Voet, former FESTINA soigneur. His own account of his arrest and his experience of drug use in the professional pelton. He is particulary explicit in his descriptions of how, what and where banned drugs were used, revealing a world where not just the athletes are using performance-enhancing substances but there support crews too. Whatever your stand-point on drugs, you cant help but feel a degree of fascination as Voet discusses what each drug does, how they work, and the lenghts that riders and there doctors took to conceal drugs are often grimly comic.
