CoH Episode 51: Professional Cyclist, Tyler Hamilton

This weeks’ guest, Tyler Hamilton, is a former professional cyclist who has reached the highest pinnacles of the sport, and felt the harshest of consequences when it was discovered that he and many of his teammates took part in an extensive doping program. He and many of his teammate’s stories have been well documented, and although we cover part of it, it’s not what this interview is about.
