Die packende, heiß diskutierte Autobiografie des Radprofis Thomas DekkerDank seines außergewöhnlichen Talents steigt der Niederländer Thomas Dekker wie ein Komet in die Spitze der internationalen Radsportwelt auf. Aber es geht ihm nicht schnell genug. Er will immer mehr. Mehr Siege, mehr Geld, mehr Frauen. Bald kennt er keinerlei Maß mehr. Er greift zu Doping und Drogen und verliert sich in Sex- und Alkoholeskapaden, bis sein Leben mit Vollgas aus der Bahn gerät: Die Nachkontrolle einer alten Urinprobe überführt ihn des EPO-Missbrauchs. Was folgt, ist ein nahezu aussichtsloser Kampf zurück in die Weltspitze, aber vor allem ein zerstörerischer Kampf mit sich selbst. In seiner Autobiografie »Unter Profis«, aufgeschrieben von dem renommierten Journalisten und Radsportkenner Thijs Zonneveld, schüttelt Thomas Dekker erstmals alle Lügen von sich ab und erzählt der Welt seine Geschichte, seine ganze Wahrheit. Mit beispielloser Offenherzigkeit - absolut schonungslos gegen sich und andere - zeichnet er seinen Weg nach: vom leicht beeinflussbaren Nachwuchsfahrer zum geläuterten Veteranen mit einer dunklen Vergangenheit in den Hinterhöfen des Profiradsports. Er berichtet von nüchtern routiniertem Blutdoping in anonymen Flughafenhotels, von zwielichtigen Treffen mit Dealern, von Partys mit Prostituierten bei der Tour de France. Es ist das erschütternde Sittengemälde eines Pelotons der Exzesse.

This play is one of the most popular of Elizabethan plays, revealing a portrait of Elizabethan London and the interaction of social classes within the city. Its social commentary is on the whole optimistic, though darker tones are discernible.
