The Descent (Thomas Dekker)

Thomas Dekker & Thijs Zonneveld
The Descent




















Another (auto)biography about sex and drugs and cycling rather than rock and roll. In ways more believable than the FWFB book I've just read but on the other hand many of those mentioned in the book deny vehemently that it's truthful. In the murky world of cycling and sports doping it's impossible to know who to believe. Nevertheless an interesting read if only for Dekker's life regardless of others. You do wonder if cycling has moved on but there are persistent doubts as there are for other sports. At least if you take drugs as a musician you aren't banned for 2 years...
