Opis

This book opens the doors to a community where sprinting permeates conversations and interactions; where the high school championships are watched by 35,000 screaming fans; where identity, success, and status are forged on the track, and where making it is a pass to a world of adoration and lucrative contracts. In such a society there can be the incentive for some to cheat. There are those who attribute Jamaican success to something beyond talent and hard work. Award-winning writer Richard Moore doesn t shy away from difficult questions as he travels the country speaking to anti-doping agencies, scientists, and sceptics as well as to coaches, gurus, superstar athletes, and those desperate to become the next big thing. Peeling back the layers, Moore reveals the secrets of Usain Bolt and the Jamaican sprint factory."
