- Tyler is being forced into a corner-- Testify or face charges. What a witch hunt? I want all of the money spent on this investigation to go towards our schools or maybe (Cancer)... Lance may or may have not used PEDs. If he did, taking them did not net him 7 TDF victories.. Anyone who thinks that a PED made the difference, does not know the recipe for winning the TDF. Example: I put vanilla in my pancake batter to make them taste better. Therefore, my pancakes will win the day -- I cheated! Sounds too simple for my mind.

- Everyone now thinks that any PED given will mean a Win at the TDF!?! What?
A 1-2% advantage. Lance had to make calls to the doc office during his Cancer days to check his blood cell counts. Will I live or die? Do you think that he (or anyone) would mess with those numbers by taking a PED. For a 1-2% advantage. Cancer changed his body type, made him an unbeatable force of determination on the bike. He also developed a formula (not drug) to win that one event. Perfect equipment (formula 1 research), Team tactics, and a Biological Advantage from his maker over his rivals... Wow-- Maybe taking those drugs Would Have Been an easier route... I bet that he gave himself Cancer (also) to become a Better Cyclist...Right. - Reply to this comment

- So if every rider in the Tour de France doped, it should have been a fair race. And it sounds like all did at one point.

- Just let everyone in sports use dope, crack, steroids and whatever they want. It's their life and they will be dead long well before most people normally would.

- I'm disgruntled by this. Lance Armestrong and his team will always be a success to me. Instead of the questions being directed vertically towards lance, how about the fact that this sounds like a cycling cultural issue, and maybe we should look horizontally at all the other foreign riders in this sport. The interviewee said that other teams participated in blood transfusions, and that other foreign teams were involved. And, not to mention we have these athletes training 5 hours a day, and Lance not to mention overcame cancer three times which negatively impacted his performance...
I didn't like how the investigator asked questions solely around Lance. This is a bigger issue, like baseball, its a cultural issue. By focusing on Lance it is solely negatively affecting the U.S. reputation in this sport, as well as the sponsors. - Reply to this comment
- "He took what we all took, really no difference between Lance Armstrong and I'd say the majority of the peloton, you know."
[emphasize: REALLY NO DIFFERENCE]
"He was using EPO in the Tour de France in the year 2000?" Pelley asked.
"He used it before to prepare for the Tour," Hamilton said.
[USED IT BEFORE vs. "during"]
"He used it to prepare for the Tour. I can't say that he used it during the Tour," Hamilton said.
[USED IT TO PREPARE... CAN'T SAY DURING]
"You saw it more than once?" Pelley asked.
"I think I saw it a couple times," Hamilton replied.
[YOU THINK? I THINK... ]
"In return for his testimony, the government has given him limited immunity from prosecution. But as part of that deal, if he's found to be lying, he loses that immunity and becomes liable for prosecution."
[POINT THE FINGER OR GO TO JAIL]
Tyler gives a provocative story, but he can't say definitively YES or NO... and he can't say that Lance doped up on game day.
If the rules are they are CLEAN on race day.. and if ALL teams are doping, meaning you are competing against machines so either join in or drop out.. then I guess it all makes sense... but if the rules are "clean on race day" - then I don't see that anyone has broken any regulations.. they're just dopers on off days (which isn't admirable is it).
I think these athletes have been taught that X, Y, & Z are all doing it - so if you want to compete, you have to join in and do it too.
I don't think it makes any of them bad people, I think it makes them victims of a totally twisted society in lust with overpaid, overhyped, over-adored athletes. - Reply to this comment

- Why is this news? If he has pictures OK let's look into it but this is nothing more than hearsay. Just another disgruntled Lance wannbe looking for his second in the sun. Enough already.
