TimW Posted October 3, 2012 Share I have an interview set up for Tyler Hamilton and Dan Coyle, the co-authors on the book "The Secret Race". I am preparing a list of questions for them, but thought the cycling experts on The Hub (are there any?) may have something which I have not thought of. So this is your chance ... let me know what would interests you about Hamilton and you may see the answers in newspapers -- more details later !!!! For those that do not know, the book details Hamilton's life as a pro and goes into detail about the doping, including teammate Lance Armstrong and others -- in my mind he effectively buries the seven-time tour winner and leaves no doubt about the scale of the doping problem (a must-read). Hamilton is also one of the key witnesses in the USADA case against Armstrong.

Iron Posted October 3, 2012 Share Why they have not paid all their winning moneys back that they won while being on drugs , cause basically they stole it as it was not won fairly.

bradwentzel Posted October 3, 2012 Share How Tyler remembers verbatim conversations that happened twelve years ago. I can't even remember what I did last weekend. I think Coyle has taken a lot of liberties in the book.

Dirtbreath Posted October 3, 2012 Share Have read the book. What interests me is how often it's mentioned that cyclists are put in a position where doping is the only alternative. I would like to know what he thinks of the cyclists who stood up for what they believed in and walked away. Perhaps there arent any. Much like corruption. Well, everyone is doing it so I might as well too.

Caerus Posted October 3, 2012 Share What made you think you would get away with it? How do you live with the fact that you only achieved what you did through doping? slowpoke 1 Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/121428-what-would-you-ask-a-doper/#findComment-1800354 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tumbleweed Posted October 3, 2012 Share Looking forward to reading your interview. I want to know why he didn't name more people from his time at Phonak.

HDW Posted October 3, 2012 Share Def going to buy the book on my Kindle tonight. Some insight as where to by the best dope will be cool as well, if you don't mind.

Bat-ass Posted October 3, 2012 Share I havent read the book, so i dont know if he mentions who were the doctors / suppliers etc?But, if he didnt, then that would be my question to him?If he incriminated other competitors in the book, but not the doctors etc. then his story is also suspect? Book sales make alot of money!! Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/121428-what-would-you-ask-a-doper/#findComment-1800373 Share on other sites More sharing options...

HDW Posted October 3, 2012 Share Honestly though, maybe ask if he thinks cycling would be where it is today without Armstrong, Contador, and the likes. And if the negative effect their doping had is maybe more short term than the positive effect Armstrong had on cycling? And also, if he thinks there is room for someone clean to come along and dominate the dopers, or if its not possible at all (in his opinion) Wonder Woman 1 Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/121428-what-would-you-ask-a-doper/#findComment-1800380 Share on other sites More sharing options...
