Just finished reading Pantani - Debunking the Murder Myth.

It goes into detail as to why the murder theory doesn't add up.

I knew Pantani had his problems with Cocaine, we all did, but some of the things that I found out in this book I'd not heard or known before. Quite a good read, occasionally a little tough going, but the details of his last few months and the hotel room where he died is very interesting. I read it in one sitting.

Shame to see that the usual hangers on and wastrels surrounded him for most of his life and, ultimately, played a part in his death. Such a talent, such an exciting rider to watch, but he had his demon's too. An all too familiar occurence in a lot of famous demises and deaths.
