In deze autobiografie vertelt de Britse topwielrenner David Millar op een eerlijke en open manier hoe hij tot dopinggebruik is gekomen. Hij vertelt onder andere hoe groot de druk van het wielerwereldje is om mee te doen aan de dopingcultuur. Hij werd betrapt en geschorst. Inmiddels fietst Millar weer en zet hij zich actief in voor de strijd tegen doping in de sport. Deze autobiografie, die een unieke kijk achter de schermen van het wielrennen geeft, is waarschijnlijk het meest onthullende en authentieke dopingverhaal van een coureur, dat er tot nu toe is verschenen.
