NEW YORK - A former teammate of Lance Armstrong has told broadcaster CBS' "60 Minutes" that he used performance-enhancing drugs with the seven-time Tour de France winner to cheat in cycling races, including the tour. Tyler Hamilton says Armstrong took a blood-booster called EPO in the 1999 Tour and before the race in 2000 and 2001. Armstrong won the race every year from 1999-2005. The interview with Hamilton was broadcast on the "CBS Evening News" on Thursday. --Mike Jacoubowsky Chain Reaction Bicycles www.ChainReaction.com Redwood City & Los Altos, CA USA |

Landis first confirmed and elaborated on the accusations in a lengthy interview with ESPN.com."

Maybe now Anton will take the Tour of California more seriously! The press conferences and interviews at the Bike Ride in California document the human drama of athletic competition. PS : It looks worse than ever though that Amgen sponsors the bike ride. Mike - flipped yet ? If not now when? |

Everyone here knows that LA and the whole Postal team doped. Anyone
who was top 20 on GC in the GT's doped, I suspect that most still do so today. Last year we had the penniless Landis bleat out his confession and accusations during the ToC, this year, it's the penniless Hamilton. What both described is likely to be a generally accurate description of what went on. And both are equally of little value, if the goal is to actually get LA sanctioned or convicted of anything. Did either describe the exact money flow that allowed a large team to pay for a continual, expensive drug program? Were any details they provided verified with hard evidence that linked the money to drugs? What about suppliers? Where did the drugs come from, exactly? Where are the transaction records? Surely, for a program of such magnitude, those records exist, as we've seen them in other drug cases. What about doctors medical records? With a program so extensive, somebody had to be keeping track of what each rider was taking, how much, when, blood tests, costs, supplies, etc. My guess is that team LA has seen this ill wind coming for years and has systematically destroyed as much hard evidence as they can, possibly, all of it. A few scraps that have been left behind (e.g. eBay bike sales? give me a break) aren't compelling. We're just left with a large set of conflicting and supporting eye witness accounts, from a bunch of guys who lied their asses off to the public in the past about their drug use. IMO, they'd be ripped to pieces in court, based on how such testimony has been viewed in past cases against LA. Lastly, let's all be honest. Had LA not doped, every single person here, especially the biggest LA haters, knows he'd have gotten his ass kicked in every TdF. You'd all be at the head of the pack calling him a loser and a douchebag, and pointing out what an idiot he was for not doping, and that he never had the talent to compete in the first place. Any pro rider during that period (and likely, up to today) knows that doping was they only way to compete, and the alteratives were to either be pack fodder or get out of the sport. Convicting LA won't change that reality. |

Mike - flipped yet ? If not now when? Flipped from what? I've been pretty consistent all along. Observing the process, looking at motivations, discussing credibility issues. Nothing to flip, just fascinating to watch. --Mike-- Chain Reaction Bicycles www.ChainReactionBicycles.com |
