Description
"A star of women's cycling in the 2000s, I led, from the outside, a golden career, a dream life. Then, in 2005, I failed a doping test and left my sport like a diver misses a dive: with a spectacular belly flop. After that, I let my life be dominated by this doping story so I could continue to hide from the truth, to hide from my deeply troubling past. Twenty years later, I decided to take back control of my story, to denounce all the violence I suffered at the hands of A., my coach, and the role it played in my use of performance-enhancing drugs. The book you are about to read is about my rebuilding. It is filled with emotions and hopes; I lay bare my happy heart and my broken heart. But above all, it is filled with my determination to free myself from everything that doesn't belong to me. I like to travel light." "
