Description: The Death of Marco Pantani by Matt Rendell Estimated delivery 4-14 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description The intimate biography of the charismatic Tour de France winner Marco Pantani and the world that caused his downfall. Now updated. Publisher Description At 9.30 p.m. on 14 February 2004, former Tour de France winner Marco Pantani was found dead in Rimini. It emerged that he had been addicted to cocaine since autumn 1999, weeks after being expelled from the Tour of Italy for blood doping. Conspiracy theories abounded: that he was injected in his sleep by a business rival; that the Olympic Committee had framed him; that Italian Industrialists had engineered his downfall; etc., etc.If none of these is entirely true and none of them fully explains Pantanis personal tragedy, none of them is without foundation. This book debunks the myths and makes surprising revelations about Pantanis personal tragedy, but also about the world of cycling. Matt Rendell had access not only to court transcripts but to many of Pantanis friends and the doctors who treated him.But Pantanis life is about much more than drug addiction. Lance Armstrong described him as more of an artist than an athlete - an extravagant figure Despite being plagued with injuries he won both the Giro and the Tour in 1998, something very few cyclists even attempt. He was an inspirational icon, and the remarkable wins against all odds make gripping reading. Author Biography Matt Rendell is an award-winning author and journalist.
