And we're back!

After our short hiatus, today we speak to Off The Ball's Eoin Sheahan about Paul Kimmage's classic "Rough Ride".

The books outlines Kimmage's career in pro-cycling in the late 80's. His descriptions of the torture cyclists go through during these long and harrowing races are eye opening to say the least.

However, the main point of this book is Paul's exposure of the mass doping that cycles participate in. The backlash Kimmage received for this expose was intense. He then went on to be a journalist with the Sunday Tribune and later helped expose Lance Armstrong's doping.

We ask Eoin about his opinion of the book and the role of a sport's journalist.
