Thread opened to discuss the allegations that Tyler Hamilton is going to admit to PED use and say that he witnessed Lance Armstrong and other teammates do the same.

Like Floyd he admits they did it but also seems to be saying it was no big deal, it was just what cyclists did.

He doesn't look very comfortable perhaps because he knows the media isn't going to treat it like that. So why come forward? Just for money?

Who's surprised at this point? Interestingly Tyler H. and Franckie A. use the latest Uniballer & Cie "spin" : we did it because everyone else did it, a trend started by Bicycling in April...

What they fail to say is that it's the Uniballer who told them everyone else was doing it! By 1999, the 1998 Festina bust had made everyone cautious, even Telekom according to Pevenage, and then you have the MSN chat between JV and Andreu, where JV says he never saw anyone dope at CA and quote KL as saying that Ullrich's hematocrit never went above 42%.

Good corroboration for Floyd. I figured that retired, non-rich bike racers would not be inclined to perjure themselves for the greater glory of Lance Armstrong.

Can't wait to hear what Hincapie says!

"I saw it in is fridge... I saw him inject EPO... Many, many times..."

Ok, where are the fanboys? Time to lable Tyler a big, fat liar - yawn :rolleyes:

The article does need one edit:

A former teammate of perhaps the world's greatest doper, Lance Armstrong, says he used banned performance-enhancing substances with Armstrong to cheat in pro races, including the Tour de France, the sport's ultimate event.

Maybe to set himself free? I think when it comes to doing things for money Armstrong has a patent on that!

He doesn't look very comfortable about setting himself free.

I suspect his revelations come from not wanting to perjure himself. Then lots of media people must have been pestering him to make what he said to the grand jury public and he gave in.

Can we just clarify

Is Tyler bitter, disgruntled, or an alcoholic?

Another big fat liar. It doesn't look too good for Lance that he's the team leader and was super-tight with all those big fat liars who worked for him. It kind of tends to prove that Lance is a big fat liar too!

It must have taken a miracle not to have been overwhelmed by all the lying going on around him.

No one said telling the truth was easy. Must be hard after all these years. Give him credit. Did he look more comfortable when he was telling lies?

Please, don't quote flicker and polish.
Thanks

That they still are allowed the troll and derail threads,
guess it's fun and ok for some of you, but don't make me read
what they write.
Again, thanks.

I think he lack credibility with that whole disappearing twin thing, kinda like Landis, spun a load of crap to get off but now spilling his guts. This will be the line or at least the one I would be taking.
