TYLER TINKOFF'S
TYLER TINKOFF'S
U.S. cyclist Tyler Hamilton, cycles before the start of the second stage of Etoile de Besseges race between Nimes and Saint-Ambroix, near Nimes, southwestern France, Thursday, Feb. 8, 2007. Hamilton returned to his first stage race Wednesday after a two-year doping ban, finishing deep in the pack. The Olympic gold medalist was 66th in the first stage of the Etoile de Bessages race between Pezenas and Palavas-les-Flots in southern France, 11 seconds behind stage winner Angelo Furlan of Italy.
I for one am glad to see Tyler back in the saddle. I really hope he is up for it. He has always been one of my favorite riders. Well liked by all, modest, and probably the highest pain threshold in the pack. Got to love a good ole American boy.... well he was sentenced two years for a doping violation..., which he denies...but was unable to prove. Who knows maybe he was clean.... well I assume he is now so good Luck Tyler and hope to see you in the Tour again!

The fine for doping in the NFL is a four game suspension. What a crock! Even a rumor of doping for a cyclist can ruin their career. Under mere suspicion a cyclist can be forced to miss their "Super Bowl," the Tour de France. No proof is needed. What do you think Terrell Owens would say to that?
HA.....What would T.O. say??? I don't kow about T.O. but I bet Barry Bonds would say "No way man I got a record to break...PLAY BALL!"
How will we ever know?
