Thomas Dekker. Mijn Gevecht by Thijs Zonneveld

A candid, deeply reported portrait of a once-promising Dutch professional cyclist that follows his rise through the ranks, the choices that led to doping and public disgrace, and the personal and professional fallout that followed; drawing on interviews and documents, the book examines the pressures of elite cycling, the anatomy of a fall from grace, and the difficult process of confronting past mistakes while trying to rebuild a life and reputation.
