I hadn't heard that. I'll have to check into that.
Any idea when that would have been?
I haven't followed it closely, but if true it is really a pity. I starting watching Tyler riding for CSC a few years ago. Great rider. Anyways, here is a story I just googled:
GENEVA -- Olympic gold medalist Tyler Hamilton was fired by his cycling team two months after testing positive for blood doping.
The Swiss-based International Cycling Union, or UCI, said Tuesday the Phonak team told the governing body that the American rider's contract was terminated last week.
Hamilton, a former University of Colorado skier, confirmed the move on his Web site, www.tylerhamilton.com.
