Have you read Tyler Hamilton’s book?

    What did you think? I found it very thought provoking. I am not sure I feel sorry for him or if he wanted us to feel sorry for him. It certainly made me think; the weight control measures in particular…

    I was reluctant to read it; my opinion of him and his cheating being poor. However history seems to have backed a lot of his allegations… I found the book difficult to put down!

    I like to read Michele
    I like to read Michele Ferrari’s website, in it he has made a number of statements about riders weight. One of them being that the reason for Bradley’s poor showing (for him) in the Giro was his low weight combined with the poor weather. I do not know how you could regulate this; a minimum body fat percentage?
    Reading that Tyler rode all day and then took only water and sleeping pills afterwards? This was to reduce his body fat to 3.8% and get the magic 6.7 watts per kilo. This seems quite shocking, but is nothing compared to what fashion models get up to…. Models do not ride a 3 week tour but people still show concern for their low weight.

    I don’t think Hamilton
    I don’t think Hamilton intended for anyone to feel sorry for him.His book finally unlocked the door,to the Armstrong
    lie machine.The weight control issue,is still fairly obvious in the pro peloton,assuming they are doing it Hamilton’s way,by starvation (and not other methods)
