“Breaking the Chain: Drugs and Cycling: The True Story” by Willy Voet is a revealing exposé of the dark side of professional cycling. Written by Willy Voet, a former soigneur for the Festina cycling team, the book provides a firsthand account of the rampant use of performance-enhancing drugs in the sport during the 1990s. Voet’s story begins with his arrest in 1998, which triggered the infamous Festina Affair—a major doping scandal that rocked the Tour de France and the world of cycling. In candid detail, Voet describes the widespread drug culture, the methods used to evade detection, and the pressure on cyclists and teams to perform at any cost. Breaking the Chain is a shocking and eye-opening look at the lengths to which athletes, coaches, and doctors went to win, shedding light on one of the biggest scandals in sports history.
