Say it ain't so, Tyler

U.S. cyclist Hamilton says he's not a drug cheat
Cyclist Tyler Hamilton is under investigation for blood doping and could be stripped of the Olympic time-trial gold medal he won in Athens.

Hamilton said he would “fight this until I don’t have a euro left in my pocket.”

Lance Armstrong gets all the mainstream publicity, but Hamilton is no slouch in the world of cycling. Last year he was in the middle of a nasty crash with multiple riders (more than a dozen, if I recall) in one of the early stages of the Tour de France. He completed the rest of the tour riding with a broken collar bone -- which earned him the title of all-around tough guy in my book!

U.S. cyclist Tyler Hamilton reportedly failed a drug test and could lose his Olympics time trial gold medal.
