Thomas Dekker

The gripping, hotly debated autobiography of professional cyclist Thomas Dekker. Thanks to his extraordinary talent, the Dutchman Thomas Dekker rises like a comet to the top of the international cycling world. But it’s not fast enough for him. He always wants more. More victories, more money, more women. Soon, he knows no limits. He turns to doping and drugs and loses himself in sex and alcohol escapades, until his life goes off the rails at full speed: a follow-up test of an old urine sample catches him for EPO abuse. What follows is an almost hopeless struggle to return to the top, but above all, a destructive battle with himself. In his autobiography "Under Professionals," written by the renowned journalist and cycling expert Thijs Zonneveld, Thomas Dekker sheds all lies for the first time and tells the world his story.
