A review by christinajl_gb
The Secret Race by Tyler Hamilton
1.0
I'll start out by saying that I'd never buy a book by an ex-doper as I don't believe in rewarding those who cheat. However, a friend lent me the book to read.
My thoughts on the book:
- Nothing shocks me anymore as to the depths people will go to in order to cheat for personal gain.
- 'It felt fair to break the rules, because we knew others were too.' is a rubbish excuse for doping.
- given the choice between putting drugs in my body so I could win and walking away from a career, I'd take the latter as I was brought up not to cheat.
The book was reasonably well written by the author Daniel Coyle but I'm giving it one star because for me, Tyler Hamilton shows no remorse for taking drugs and seems to think it was ok to do so because lots of others did the same.
