    There are also OTC natural products touted as anti-depressants.

    But I'm going to go with "the chimera did it".

    So this means he's suspended, again? Two years at his age and it's curtains for his career.

    The article said he retired.
    Slow and steady (like a train!)

    Lmao!

    Possegal, that was the most hilarious comment! I watched that whole sport special on Tyler and his "chimera"...how ridiculous is that?! I LOVED your comment though!

    I feel really sorry for him.

    Was it here that I heard of folks organizing a local race that had to turn him away as he tried to sneak in? I think one can talk of a really sad case of addiction.

    I agree with all of you. And he is the current National Champion! Quick, can we give that title to George Hincapie or Levi Lephimer? If he did infact retire it is probably the best thing on all angles. He will not have to worry about where his next fix is coming from and US cycling will not be damaged any more by him.

    Wait, RR are you saying he's a heroin addict or something? I don't get it.

    I think it was a sad article, because the man is suffering greatly from depression. His mother has cancer and he got divorced. I feel sorry for him.

    I don't think he should be racing at all. He's messed up. Seems like he's finally realizing it.
