It’s almost like most cyclists hated the fact that you had to cheat almost to be competitive in cycling. When they got busted it’s almost like a relief to them.
@@toddgray6274 they don't wish they were clean when faced with the distances and speeds they race at. especially at that level, literally the toughest sport on earth.
And that's exactly the reason I don't view it as cheating!! So al shitting on Lance some of hes teammates included did it out of envy!! They could not win the Tour even if they cheated because Lance was so much better so they became rats!! Has nothing whit the truth to do for Hamilton, just a way to exuse hes double standard!
Tour de France is one of the most strenuous events in sports, it has adverse effect on body and health of the athletes, doping is almost a way to preserve health and longevity, but if you have money, power, and influence you can go above and beyond just preserving your health, you become a superhuman lab experiment, you become lance Armstrong
@@kungallu2133 you don’t understand how lance ruined people’s careers, and lives, he had a sphere of influence likened to that of a mob boss.. he stalked team doctors that talked to fbi for years, hacked into computers, won millions of dollars from law suits from journalists and press that dare to question him. He ruined many cyclist careers and their families lives, he’s a pos, he’s a vile narcissist , pathological layer and scumbag and deserves no respect .
@@FroopieLoopies he told the truth before having a book so it's not related at all i didn't even knew he had a book. He was pretty much forced to tell the truth but he was also pretty much forced to doping.
inspirational to come out and say the truth, many many cyclist did the same thing but say they didn't. As Tyer says he broke his silence and the one's that didn't work in the sport of cycling in some way in 2017 and that's what pisses me of more.
Inspirational? To other drug cheats you mean? Telling the truth isn't something to be admired, it should be expected. He came clean only after he was threatened with jail, that's not inspirational in my book it's saving your own skin. He cheated right through his career and served bans for blood doping. A genuine career-cheat.
also appeared to be so unaware of the health risks of transfusion. only afraid of the ramifications of doping enforcement and not at all shaken by the fact that he could have died if his teammate's blood had been incompatible
He talks about that side of it a lot in his book. One or two other riders had died with such a switch as the suspected cause in the past. He was pretty mortified by the idea, but also notes that if you weren't riding for the best teams (this was after his Postal years) then you also aren't working with fantastic and organized doctors.
Tyler earned my respect by publicly admitting he made a mistake, explaining how and why he did it and by putting in the time to try to educate the young about the dangers of what he experienced. Those I do not respect are those who doped but to this day either deny it, excuse it or say they'd do it again because they don't see it as wrong. Those people are amoral.
This is the issue with team sports which are run by few men who call themselves organizing bodies like UCI. If this was an individual sport, no one had to fear for their job.
Everyone can make mistakes in life, but ultimately you're judged by how you own up to those mistakes and try and put things right. Tyler wasn't and won't be the last athlete to dope. But his actions, words, and the way he has faced up to his past is stark example to Lance. One has come out sounding and looking like a true man, whilst Lance still sounds unrepentant deep down. That whilst being a despicable piece of **** in the process.
Hey Tyler HUGE RESPECT FOR U MY BUD - U definitely have stopped many youngsters as well as some of there Pshyco parents from even thinking about cheating 😎😎😎🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
So Lance snitched on him.. this guy is riding faster than me. And he’s not on my team anymore so He must be doping. Tyler great job. The code of silence works both ways. Lance ran his mouth. Glad you waited for the law to come at you before counter attacking.
The Cycling World Demonizes the winning US team, but they say nothing about all the other champions, and all the other teams that were doping before the US TEAM Was.
@@thommy61 Sadly, no one knows once you go down that road. As Hamilton has said in other interviews, if he is being honest, he can never say what he could have done clean after he started doping in 1997. Its effects last far longer than people realize.
I hope pro cyclists are clean today. The average speed for the winner of flat TT's is over 55 kph which was unheard of even just a few years ago. The average speed in last year's TdF was among the fastest ever. I'm suspicious but I still hold out hope the insanely fast pro peloton speeds today is because of natural talent, training, nutrition, and advances in bike technology.
I would say Lance Armstrong was afraid of Hamilton. So he made the call to take him down. No one else before or after has been banned for the reason Hamilton was. They were all blood doping. There is no test for it.
@@martinusv7433 he was cheating himself. all cheaters should get caught. but, as soon as he got caught, he wanted to take them down. there is no redemption here
@@truefreedom9308 So, all cheaters should get caught, but someone helping others get caught is bad? Well, how else do you expect them to get caught? The dopers can just keep jumping from one PED to the next as soon as WADA figures out how to test for it, and they have a much higher budget.
Lmao "I did the thing I'm accused of but, if I'm questioned about it I have to say things about everyone rather than actually confess about the thing I'm accused of. ... Also it wasn't my blood."
They all do it, we know they all do it. Who cares. Fans of all sports want to see incredible feats and achievements...how do you think those things are made possible? Genetics, talent, and incredibly hard work will only take elite athletes so far. If they're all on juice then it's a level playing field.
Jeremy T 1982 That's not true. it's not an even playing field. athletes w more money n more connections can get drugs faster easier n more of them. Aside from that, fuck no its not cool. Fans want hard work, not bs cheating. not talking about cycling. I don't know those fans
Fans want to see more homeruns, more touchdowns, crazier knockouts, heavier weights lifted, faster sprinters, record breaking swimmers…that all takes extremely hard work, genetics, and talent/skill. However the human body is only capable of so much. At the elite level, where the sport is your entire life…you will do what you have to do to compete regardless of rules/safety. At the end of the day fans want results…
I agree we all wants to see extraordinary performance in sports and that is the main reason we have athletes that are willing to cheat to obtain results. The sad truth is that we as society are becoming very disconnected with reality. We place these athletes in the Pantheon of greatness and demand results at all cost and when they don't deliver they become disposable. The sport of cycling and sports in general is no different than Gladiators in Roman times. Throw human beings to the Pitts and let them fight it out with the Lions and have no compassion and we are not satisfied with less quantity of things and share more and be more kind to each other. Sad that human beings are the only species willing to endanger their lives to satisfied someone's else expectations. No other animal does this without training. And to think we are supposed to be the logical ones.
That's simply not true, stop defending Lance the asshole. Lance had the most money, the most connections and the most influence so drug use was never going to be equal. Lance is a cheater and will do anything to win so he would get the best drugs. The Lance lovers have to start facing the truth, they were duped by Lance and now the truth has come out. He is nothing but a cheat and all the people who supported him should feel stupid for being suckered.
Legalizing PED use would mean natural born athletes would be denied fair competition if they don't wish to risk damaging their bodies/health/future! ugh
I've just finished the book the secret race, well done Tyler for telling the truth.
It’s almost like most cyclists hated the fact that you had to cheat almost to be competitive in cycling. When they got busted it’s almost like a relief to them.
I believe they wish it was clean and all were clean, but no way....won't ever be.

That guy can be very proud of himself. Great guy.
He should be proud because he chaeted, got caught and now is telling the truth to sell his book?
FroopieLoopies No... because he didn't continue to lie like the rest of them & because he didn't cave to Armstrong's threats ugh

Dude has amazing hair
Truth is treason in the empire of lies..
His doctor fucked up on purpose to make him get caught and be the scapegoat so lance could remain in the shadows. Guaranteed.
i know I'm quite off topic but do anyone know a good place to watch newly released tv shows online?
@Dustin Dario Lately I have been using Flixzone. Just google for it =)
@Terrance Louis yea, I have been watching on flixzone for years myself :)
@Terrance Louis thanks, I went there and it seems like they got a lot of movies there :) I appreciate it!
@Dustin Dario Glad I could help xD

The rat on top of the books in the background is a nice touch. Tyler's book is a bloody good read. It is truly shocking.
👀
He looks like a surfer
Hey Tyler HUGE RESPECT FOR U MY BUD - U definitely have stopped many youngsters as well as some of there Pshyco parents from even thinking about cheating 😎😎😎🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
Glad Hamilton came out with it all for the right reasons, unlike Landis.
id say that quite unfair on Landis…. Depends on your perspective i suppose
Tyler looks a lot like Mathew McConaughey
eddy veder
So Lance snitched on him.. this guy is riding faster than me. And he’s not on my team anymore so He must be doping.
Tyler great job. The code of silence works both ways.
Lance ran his mouth.
Glad you waited for the law to come at you before counter attacking.
u don't ruin carrers from telling the truth, they already ruined theirs by being cheaters.
Graham, what about an interview with Greg LeMonde on use of MOTORS by cyclists. That's a whole new level of "doping."
call tyler again
They all cheated, but not everyone gets caught
Why do I now see this guy as a bit of hero?! Crazy. He’s great. At least he was cheating with everyone else.
The Cycling World Demonizes the winning US team, but they say nothing about all the other champions, and all the other teams that were doping before the US TEAM Was.
GARY Gwin Nobody had an operation the extent of Armstrong's team lol
@@JustMeELCalso that’s not true anyway, most banned cyclists are Europeans
Jan Ullrich was the good one, who really deserved to win those tours. But there was no chance at all for him against the Armstrong doping team.
but ullrich also used
Lol, Jan doped too
@@r3d5ive87 Jef D´Hont ,who knew from inside what was going on wrote in his book, if everyone was clean, Ulrich would have won the Tour ten times.....

Trust me, they aren't clean. Nobody is clean anymore in pro cycling.
there's no test for it
Shame on you for telling the truth! But the world “hates liars?”
Its a bike ride x
'Tell about...' might sound cool but it's not English!
bs, he did not need to take everyone else down with him. but, of course he should not have been cheating at all
I would say Lance Armstrong was afraid of Hamilton. So he made the call to take him down. No one else before or after has been banned for the reason Hamilton was. They were all blood doping. There is no test for it.

This interviewer asks such obvious follow up questions it's almost irritating.
