The story behind this book / Daniel Coyle -- Getting in the game -- Reality -- Eurodogs -- Roommates -- Bad news bears -- 2000 : building the machine -- The next level -- Life in the neighborhood -- New start -- Life at the top -- The attack -- All or nothing -- Popped -- Novitzky's bulldozer -- Hide-and-seek -- The end-around.
Over the course of two years, Daniel Coyle conducted more than 200 hours of interviews with cyclist Tyler Hamilton and spoke candidly with numerous teammates, rivals, and friends. The result is an explosive book that takes us deep inside a shadowy, fascinating, and surreal world of unscrupulous doctors, anything-goes team directors, and athletes so relentlessly driven to succeed that they would do anything - and take any risk, physical, mental, or moral - to gain the edge they need to win.
