Default Tyler Takes An IMAX Hit

From CyclingNews
http://www.cyclingnews.com/news.php?...ar05/mar01news Phil and
Paul are the stand-ins.
Distributor plays down Hamilton role in IMAX movie
By Carlton Reid, www.bikebiz.co.uk

The possible fallout from a positive drug test includes a court battle,
fines, suspension, loss of career and - for Tyler Hamilton - being 'edited
out' of a movie you were supposed to star in. Hamilton's central role in
Brain Power, an IMAX film which should have premiered late last year, has
been much reduced.

Brain Power is to be distributed by nWave Pictures of New York. In an nWave
press release from July 7, 2003, the film is said to explore "the
extraordinary processes of the human brain by following world-class,
professional cyclist, Tyler Hamilton as he trains and participates in the
Tour de France." At a screening of rushes of the film at Cycle 2004 in
London in September, Hamilton was featured as the only protagonist.

Fast forward to February 24 and Hamilton is not mentioned in an nWave press
release. Instead, Brain Power becomes the "dramatic story of pro-cyclists
dealing with the stresses, dangers, and conflicts of the Tour de France."

The film no longer has a central character: "Brain Power will follow several
Tour riders as they cope with pain in the high Alps, experience a
"fight-or-flight" situation on a steep downhill switchback, struggle to
maintain mental focus and wage a constant mental war between extreme
exhaustion and their motivation to reach the finish line in Paris."

He still got paid the same.

It ought to be interesting to see what becomes of the WADA if it turns out
that they've been screwing with people's careers with a faulty drug test.

dumbass,

do you seriously think they put into practice an untested doping test ?

if hamilton gets off it will be on a technicality which will invalidate
his test.

That's like saying 'do you really think they'd send someone to death row
who wasn't guilty of a murder?'

Goddamn you're one stupid moron.

I forget, are you one of the people in here who thinks you go faster
around a turn on a velodrome than on the straightaway?

Thanks,


Magilla

I think that is why he will be "exonerated" and that he is very lucky to
have falsely tested positive twice (or is it once, or is it three times?).
