USATODAY.com - Dear Tyler Hamilton ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02) |
 | | USATODAY.com asked readers to share their thoughts with Tyler Hamilton, whose Olympic gold medal, reputation and cycling future were called into question this week with the revelation that initial samples from Athens and the Vuelta a Espana had shown evidence of blood from another person, which would constitute a doping offense. |
 | | Hamilton's team, Phonak, has said that the "B" sample from the Vuelta a Espana is positive, but the team plans to convene a panel of scientists to review the tests. |
 | | With Hamilton vowing to fight for his reputation and Phonak casting aspersions on the tests, the case is likely to drag on in arbitration for some time. |
