60 Minutes: Tyler Hamilton claims Armstrong doped

[redrhodie]

I hate that the only publicity cycling ever gets on network TV is always about doping. Now that Lance isn't racing, they don't even mention the tour de France, one of the biggest sports events in the world, unless there's a scandal. It's sickening.

I agree. Here on the east coast the Tour of California have not been mentioned on any news channel, TV or radio. What do I hear on the radio (news station) this morning, this Tyler interview. Sickening as cycling is getting credit for one thing only it seems. 2 USA cyclists up in front and not a word.

LA has been tested over 500 times on and off season and nothing found. Give it up already!!! I heard Tyler is writing a book. cha ching

Wolf! Wolf! Wolf!.......

Unfortunately, the tests are weak, so LA might have tested negative 1000 times and that does not prove that he is clean. I love watching the grand tours, but I will not idolize any of the riders. Not Armstrong, nor Horner, Nibali, Schleck, Contador, etc.

time for everyone to get a life and move on.

I'm not all that inclined to believe anything Tyler H. says, but unfortunately, George Hincapie has confirmed the same thing. I AM inclined to believe George. Interviews with both George and Tyler (not sure if together or separate) will be shown on 60 Minutes this Sunday.

Well that's a sad end to a long friendship. And points a finger right back at George.

=============

Update: catching up on twitter. These were posted by George tonight.

ghincapie I can confirm to you I never spoke with "60 Minutes." I have no idea where they got their information.

ghincapie As I've said in the past, I continue to be disappointed that people are talking about the past in cycling instead of the future.

ghincapie As for the substance of anything in the "60 Minutes" story, I cannot comment on anything relating to the ongoing investigation.

Funny that these big revelations come up during the Tour of CA (last year was Landis).

One of my questions is? To what outcome?

Lance also tweeted facts4lance.com if you want more info.

Edit: OK. I've gone back and read some more articles. I have a problem with the credibility of someone who: 1) Got caught doping then turns around and says "He did it too!" 2) Testified that he/they didn't dope and then testify again that they did. Doesn't that make them an uncredible witness in our legal system?
