	USATODAY.com - Cyclist Hamilton denies doping despite reported failed tests (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		That the offense would come from the often-sullied sport of cycling is of little surprise, considering the list of high-profile offenders, including 1997 Tour de France champ Jan Ullrich and '98 Tour winner Marco Pantani, who died of a cocaine overdose in February.
		But his gold medal win in the road cycling time trial in the Athens Olympics came just weeks after dropping out of the 2004 Tour because of a debilitating back injury, compounded by the death of his longtime pet golden retriever.
		In 1984, when the USA won nine medals in the boycotted Los Angeles Summer Games, those medals were assisted in some cases by a then-legal transfusion procedure similar to the one Hamilton now has been accused of using.
