With his disappearance from the sport for the past several months, many questions abounded regarding Tyler Hamilton's (Rock Racing) status. In a impromptu press conference today, Hamilton officially announced his retirement citing a continued battle with clinical depression.
There was rampant speculation that Hamilton's recent absence was due to a positive test for a banned substance. And while those rumors turned out to be substantiated, the positive "A" sample results were for DHEA, a banned substance with no known performance enhancing effects found in an herbal anti-depressant.
We will have more on his announcement later today.
