Taking in tough climbs and steep descents, these books reflect the highs and lows of a sporting life

- Jonathan Liew

The Chain

Bradley Wiggins

The Tour de France winner's autobiography begins with him snorting cocaine off his Olympic gold medal: the final emblematic descent from his crowning summer of 2012.

And yet for all the lows chronicled here addiction, self-harm, the collapse of his marriage, memories of his difficult father and of a coach who sexually abused him - this is not your classic misery memoir. Disarmingly honest and roguishly humorous, it is a journey of rediscovery: a man knocked sideways by sport and celebrity, finally learning to stand straight again.

Fixed: My Secret Life As a Match Fixer

Moses Swaibu

We know there are armies of fixers trying to manipulate the sports we love. But we ignore it.
