Tyler Hamilton
Tyler Hamilton is a former American professional road bicycle racer who competed from 1995 to 2009.
He began his career with the US Postal Service cycling team after a back injury ended his promising skiing career in 1991.
Hamilton's cycling career was marked by both success and controversy, ultimately ending due to a positive doping test in April 2009.
Following his retirement, Hamilton gained attention for his tell-all book about doping in professional cycling, particularly focusing on his experiences and those of his former teammate Lance Armstrong.
His candid account of the widespread use of performance-enhancing drugs in the sport has contributed significantly to public understanding of doping practices in professional cycling during that era.
