A Rough Ride by Paul Kimmage

In A Rough Ride, Paul Kimmage gives a devastatingly frank account of what life is really like in the world of professional cycling. In tracing his mixed fortunes, Kimmage describes not only the grueling pressures of the sport but also the seamier side: the widespread use of drugs to enhance performance. A Rough Ride breaks the law of silence to expose a world where the supposed glamour has worn very thin.

Paul Kimmage is a well-known sports reporter. He is the author of Andy Townsend's autobiography and the critically acclaimed Full Time: The Hidden Life of Tony Cascarino. He is also the chief interviewer for the Sunday Times' sports section.
