Hamilton to be Stripped of Gold Medal
Marblehead cyclist Tyler Hamilton will be stripped of his Athens gold medal.
Local cyclist Tyler Hamilton, who accused Lance Armstrong of doping in an interview on CBS's 60 Minutes last year, will be stripped of the gold medal he won in Athens in 2004.
The IOC is reportedly set to strip Hamilton of the medals and award them to the next finisher, the Boston Globe reported today.
Hamilton initially came under investigation by the IOC during the Athens olympic, when a doping sample indicated he had tested positive for a blood transfusion, according to the report.
Hamilton reportedly tested positive a month later at the Spanish Vuelta and after serving a two-year suspension, he returned to cycling but tested positive again for a banned substance in 2009 and was banned from cycling for eight years.
Marblehead Patch will be posting additional information as it becomes available.

So a "proven" fraud ,cheater and liar is caught and he "implicates" the sports biggest star (who has taken 600 blood tests and never failed one) and we are supposed to believe what?
Only in today's libtard america is this "logic" acceptable and seriously presented.

Actualy Lance has failed multiple times but states that it was due to his cancer meds which he hasn't had to take in 7 years! If you believe that then your a tard! here is another interesting fact The only people who have come close to doing what Lance has done have all been implicated in doping so either he is super human or there is some truth! My belief with the way he treats women he is a scoundrel! The cycling world needed a star they created Lance now they dont know how to clean it up!

Whatever the case people way more experienced and connected to all the facts will be making the decision. Believe what you want to, but passing judgement is not taking the high road
