geneticist and pharmacutical technologist= he has valid explanations
for everything, it's just the rest of the world has not yet caught up
to his expertise

NOT defending him at all but if truly has a mental illness that
'drove' him to this, I feel for him. Who cares about bike racing, he
needs medical help if he is sick.
Depression, from somebody that has first hand experience with it, can
be devastating, deadly.

You can easily see it in Tyler's eyes. Not that many years ago he had
an easiness to his face - now he has that hunted look around his eyes.

Dude, DHEA is not a rational approach to doping at the level
he is competing at. Just sayin'.

Well, since it's not rational use, we'll let it slide.



Depression is serious. Don't 30 million Americans deal with it? But
I'm wondering if some of his depression wasn't brought on by his own
actions/decisions. I'm sure his conscience would clear if he sent
Ekimov the Gold Medal that he stole.

Bonnie Ford quotes Tyler, "Did I take it knowing it was on the banned list?
Yes. Did I take it because it was performance-enhancing? Absolutely not."

Did he think he'd test positive, and perhaps at some level want to? I have
no idea.

Would DHEA do much for his performance? Not as I understand it.

Would he want to face another long expensive fight against USADA et al? I
doubt it.


Sad end to a once-promising career.

Why do Americans like to make statements in the form of a Q&A? I don't know.
