He may even line up at the Tour de Georgia.
Right on Tyler!
Lets hope it is all good!

jhuskey said:I would love nothing more than Tyler to be found clean and if so I hope he has kept fit. Phonak did go to the wall for him with a great deal of cost involved.
Of course science and medicine are exact and accurate ,for after the world is flat and leeches will cure almost any ailment
hombredesubaru said:One cannot vouch for the accuracy of what the LA Times has, but if they published it, it must be true-- I mean the papers they have must be real or they would get sued. As to whether the info is true or not is up to a court.
I wonder who leaked it? I mean, if Tyler is found innocent, great. But if he is found innocent and someone has leaked that his hematocrit was 49.7 at a major race and his reticulocyte count low, it will be an empty victory. People will remain suspcisious.
On the other hand, if Phonak and Tyler had receieved warnings that he was being looked at, why would he risk it etc. I guess we will never know... only Tyler and Tuggy know the real truth.
VeloFlash said:I find some facts exposed by the LA Times perusal of court documents quite revealing:
In June, UCI officials sent Hamilton a letter saying he was going to be watched because his "blood values showed strong signs" of "a possible manipulation."
and ....
The test, which looks specifically for evidence of mixed populations, was put into use just last summer — midway through the Tour de France, just weeks before the start of the Olympics.
On the 19 July 2004, Tyler Hamilton abandoned the Tour de France from alleged back problems halfway through the 13th stage.
Fletchnj05 said:If the ruling does work in his favor. Who will he race with this year? Didn't Phonak fire him?
That`s the least problem..teams will fight for him if he will win the case! The only problem is that the ProTour teams do not have any place..Fletchnj05 said:If the ruling does work in his favor. Who will he race with this year? Didn't Phonak fire him?
That's what I was thinking about the Protour teams all have full rosters. With that being said, if he's cleared what US team will he race for in the tour of GA? I wouldn't think he would want to race in the states for the rest of the year. Unless he could get short term contract.Virenque said:That`s the least problem..teams will fight for him if he will win the case! The only problem is that the ProTour teams do not have any place..
Actually because they attributed it to another source they can print anything they want. If Tyler is innocent and he sues they can show proof of the leak and print a retraction and they would be ok. Happens all of the time, just follow politics for a few weeks.hombredesubaru said:One cannot vouch for the accuracy of what the LA Times has, but if they published it, it must be true-- I mean the papers they have must be real or they would get sued.

To all: Go check out Tylers website, his latest entry is very interesting...that is if you are the type of person who looks at all sides before condeming someone.
tcklyde said:Well there it is. Two year suspension. He had a fair hearing and apparently got to suggest all sorts of things that high priced lawyers could come up with.
I know Tyler is said to be a nice guy, but doping is cheating and I have no more interest in listening to his sad and lame denials.
Lonnie Utah said:Well that's the way the cookie crumbles. What I don't understand is that the 2 years starts yesterday on April 17. Why not from the time of the initial positive. He hasn't raced since then. Seems to me this way it works out to 2.5 years....

His career is over.No ifs or buts.tcklyde said:He'll be 36 either way. Oh, and if he bothers to stay clean, without the benefit of dope. I'd say his career is effectively over.
