I very much hope Tyler is cleared. I think he's great and really want to believe the test results are false, but my cycling world has had so many shakes this year.

The death of Pantani who I adored, who was thown off the Tour of Italy several years ago but never at any point actually tested positive for anything. And David Millar who was also likeable and was Britains bright young thing, seemed to loose his way and now this.

So, as much as I like and admire Tyler I'm finding it hard to stay positive. I suppose we can never truely know what people are like behind closed doors, nor how strong the desire to win at all costs can be, to take such risks.

On another note, I too don't feel comfortable with the new tests. Like someone else said, this is potentially career-ending stuff. I just hope they're sure the test methods are accurate.
