Hamilton is the first person to be found to have tested positive for blood doping-when athletes inject blood from another person in order to increase their red blood cells and improve stamina. Doping in cycling ws first caught in 1896 but I'd really like to know how the test works. Too much hemaglobin ala EPO or is there a way to get DNA from the second person from the bloodsample? Anyone know how the UCI does this?
I had hoped that the US Cyclists had learned their lession with blood boosting after the 1984 Olympics. Sighhhhhhhh

He's definitely guilty. I heard they found blood in his blood.

This has been resolved, I believe. Tyler's ok, and gets to keep his Olympic medal.
Those in the know say that Tyler is about the least-likely guy to do something illegal.
There seem to be some questions about the test -- a new test that supposedly relies a bit more on 'interpretation' as opposed to more objective results.
