Tyler Hamilton suspended....again?
cycling post
ROME, Apr 30 (CP) - According to the Italian sports paper La Gazzetta dello Sport, American Tyler Hamilton is suspended by his team Tinkoff Credit Systems and will probably not be participating in the Giro d'Italia.
Earlier, Hamilton got a two years suspension; this season, the American made his comeback at the Italian-Russian team. Now, Hamilton would be involved in the doping case around Spanish sports doctor Eufemiano Fuentes.
Besides Hamilton, Jörg Jaksche is not allowed to ride as well. Last week, the German was sanctioned for another ten months by the Court of Waadt, on recommendation of the CAS.

My understanding is that he is still going to race the Giro.
Also - he has already paid for his crime (i.e. - he was already caught for any doping related to the OP investigation. Double Jeopardy seems like it should apply in this case.

Innocent or not, he did the time for the crime. Jail is full of self proclaimed "innocent" people paying their debt to society. Unless this allegation is of new doping then he should be left alone to race. I have not heard any thing about new doping but rather only the discovery of his doping method back in 2004 (for which he was banned for 2 years already). This just seems petty.

When he says he's sorry, I will stop laughing at him.

I could care less if he races, its not like his performances lately matter at all. IF he races he will get ~150th place overall.. so who cares.

I have heard more than one judge make the comment that acknowledging and accepting responsibility for one's actions is the first step toward rehabilitation. That makes a lot of sense to me.

It wouldn't surprise me that hitting the juice is so engrained in some of these riders that they get to a point where they truly believe they're doing nothing wrong.
