Cyclist Marco Pantani�s death is one of the most tragic events in recent sports history. After winning both the Tour de France and the Giro d�Italia in 1998, he was expected to dominate cycling well into the next decade. Instead, he was caught in a blood-doping scandal, disappeared from view, and, in 2004, was found dead of cocaine poisoning. Matt Rendell tells Pantani�s story with an investigative reporter�s zeal for the facts and a novelist�s skill for depicting deeper truths. He debunks the conspiracy theories that have circulated about Pantani�s demise, but reveals other startling findings about the dark underside of the cycling world.
