Well, here we have it. Tyler Hamilton's admitted to taking a banned substance. As you'd expect, there are caveats, and of course it's not as simple as it might first appear.
He's suffered from depression for years, and he stopped taking meds due to side effects and turned to a homeopathic remedy that includes a banned substance, DHEA. Of course he says he'd never take anything to enhance performance, but at this point you just gotta wonder.
It's too bad. I feel for him. I really loved to watch this guy ride. And even in his return on the bad-boy Rock Racing team, it was good to see him go good.
But now he's done, almost for certain, for good. I wish him luck in dealing with his depression and his demons. It's gonna be a tough road ahead.
