American cyclist Tyler Hamilton appeals against doping ban
American cyclist Tyler Hamilton has argued that his two-year doping ban
should be overturned at his appeal hearing at the Court of Arbitration
for Sport in Denver.
34-year-old Tyler Hamilton tested positive during the 2004 Tour of
Spain, a month after he won gold in the time trial at the Athens
Olympics.
The US Anti-Doping Agency imposed a two-year ban last April but Tyler Hamilton has denied any doping violation.
CAS could take several weeks to reach a decision on Tyler Hamilton's appeal.
Tyler Hamilton also tested positive after Athens but the case was dropped after the B sample was frozen in error.
The International Olympic Committee stated it could not strip Tyler Hamilton of gold without a B sample as a back-up test.
Tyler Hamilton's initial CAS appeal hearing last September was
suspended because not all the evidence could be presented in time.
