A little bit of serendipity
in the gym tonight when, as is my wont, I mounted the exercise bike armed with
my kindle and found myself in the company of one-time Tour de France yellow
jersey wearer David Millar as I continued to read ‘Racing through the Dark’, an
autobiographical account of his rise, fall from grace due to doping
revelations, and subsequent return to top professional road racing; pedalling
away I could have done with a bit of EPO or other artificial stimulation, while
afterwards my recovery relied less on injections of iron and vitamins and more
on a plate of fish and chips.
