Show Notes: Available HERE
There are many ways you can listen to the show:
OK, I was listening while riding so I may be wrong – but did you call Tyler the “Current Olympic time trial medal holder”?
Tyler “won” – and I use that term loosely – in 2004. The current (Beijing 2008) Gold medal holder is Fabian Cancellara. Tyler’s win, of course, would have been taken away if the lab didn’t screw up his B sample, so even his 2004 medal will always have an asterisk attached to it.
