In the Clear?

If you've read Velonews the past couple of days, you've probably run across a couple of features about Tyler Hamiton (Tinkoff Credit Systems; Photo - Casey Gibson).

Are you happy that he's back in the peloton? Did you think he's served his time (after a two year suspension)?

Or better yet, do you think he should have been suspended to begin with? What!?

Athough Tyler Hamilton's appeal to the Court of Abitration for Sports was denied, many questions (gray areas) linger from a verdict that for most was decided in black and white.

Two years later, Hamilton is "still pretty pissed off," but seems to be looking up the road rather than behind him, "I do try to use it as motivation. I'm certainly still angry which helps me to ride my bike faster."

Tour of Redemption?

The start list for the Tour of Georgia looks more like a tour of redemption as several other formerly suspended riders are in the field:

David Millar (Saunier Duval - Prodir)

Adam Bergman (Colavita/Sutter Home - Cooking Light)

Kirk O'Bee (Health Net - Maxxis)
