The Secret Olympian by Anon
The Secret Olympian exposes the truth of what goes on at the Olympic Games. Shocking, funny and slightly tongue in cheek, a former Olympian reveals the world of the Olympic athlete - and, behind the scenes, what a bizarre world it is....

A first-hand expose of the Olympic experience written in an enjoyable easygoing style * Sport *
