jan 25th...gone.

Hey, where is the big news from Tyler's hearing? I checked the USADA
website and saw nothing. It is current, as there is an "athlete
advisory" dated Jan 27th regarding the status of "Yasmine".

I think the cycling career of TH just died a quiet death.

Perhaps, but it is possible that his hearing was delayed at the request of
one of the parties. It's still odd that there has been no word at all. His
last missive on his web site was December 12th.

The other possibility is that just because the hearing was on the
25th, it doesn't predicate the report from the arbitration coming out
on the 25th. The decision of the arbitration panel has to be debated,
reached, typed up, and then communicated to the athlete and the USADA.
Then the USADA issues a press release.

For instance, in the case of Adam Sbeih, who tested positive for rEPO,
the hearing was on March 14th, with the arbitration ruling (and the
press reelease from USADA) coming on the 25th.

So I would guess we whould hear something (if, indeed, the hearing did
take place) around the end of the first week of February, or shortly
thereafter.

You're correct in that no decision will be reached for weeks or months after
a hearing. The question is whether or not a hearing took place and will
Tyler or his lawyer tell us what his defense was.

Yep. One observation would be thet *if* a hearing did take place on
the 25th, then the news ain't very good for TH, otherwise they'd have
ahd the press conference announcing his 2005 schedule. Or at least,
that's what I'd imagine would happen if he were exhonorated...

Stay tuned. I have a feeling there will be some news forthcoming soon.

It is also very possible that the hearing took place as scheduled, but that
there will be no news of it until the arbitration panel reaches their
decision which may take days or weeks of consideration.

That's possible. However, I have to agree with SH that if Tyler had
presented a strong case, he's be out there doing pr spin. Time will tell. I
wonder if Perez will have anything to say about Tyler once he's suspended.

Perhaps, it's just better to keep quite until there is a verdict as his
case, assuming he's right, will highlight that the type 2 error (a positive
when it should be a negative) is too high.

The XXADA's can't have that and Tyler can't be wrong; there needs to be an
answer where both parties needs are served. That answer is not clear to me;
assuming TH did nothing wrong as he claims.
