Okay... I know that headline is a little rough on Tyler, but I can't help it. I elevated him to hero status after watching him win the Giro d'Italia in 2002 with a broken collar bone. Then I was crushed when he got banned for doping (twice). After that, whatever admiration I still had for him faded when he joined the all dopers Rock Racing team.
Anyway... there's a rumor floating around that he jumped in as a bandit at the Boston marathon last week. Tyler... come on.
Tyler tested positive for a substance that is part of an OTC anti-depressant. The substance (DHEA I think) isn't even a proven performance enhancer. So, he's done. Quite frankly. From what I've read, I think that he's happy to be done.
Now, if he really bandit ran the BM, that's bad. Goofy bad.
