This story is sad in so many ways!!!  When I initially viewed this story I was disappointed and angered that yet another elite athlete had succumbed to the so called pressure to win and so made the excuse to use performance enhancing DRUGS.  After reading the entire post, my anger subsided and my disappointment and sadness for Mr. Hamilton's decisions both past and present made me realize the he is just a human being.  I do not condone Mr. Hamilton's actions, however it is clear the Tyler has much more difficult issues to deal with than being a professional cyclist.  I hope he will get the assistance he needs and be able to move on to a more positive place.

Hopefully this issue will not further the tarnished view of professional cycling and most will realize that this is an isolated incident carried out by man the has been diagnosed with severe depression.

Just my 2 cents..............
