The Dublin accent and.cheerfully scathing Irish wit make this one of the best, most honest cycling videos I've ever watched. What a refreshing dose of realism into the otherwise whitewashed sport of doping, I mean cycling.
@@flachi32 Not in any particular detail. Hamilton mentions Riis being doped to the gills during his TdF win and writes that CSC was the team to go to for him because Riis not only understood the necessity of doping in pro cycling, but was willing to run a team program.

Great analysis as usual. What did for TH was his ridiculous defence after winning TT Olympic gold...he claimed the dead embryo of an unborn twin was still lodged in his system...yes....that's the old favourite one of dopers...blame a nascent, unborn ghost of your rampant doping. The only blessing is he's not such an ahole like Lance and has openly admitted his guilt and his part in the cycling culture, he's shown contrition..unlike others out there who still deny it today...go to Spain and Italy and you'll still see Contador, Delgado, Cippolini et al on TV like they're heroes.
I was recently watching a video on Hamilton on YT and everyone in the comments was worshiping the guy. It was kind of sickening given his history. That's why your channel is important. It evens things up and gives a more realistic perspective.
Yes. This guy makes me sick. He acts like he was some kind of martyr. He always looks like he’s about to cry. He was just as dirty as everyone and he has the nerve to cry like a baby as if he was forced to dope.
Only admitted it when threatened with jail after years of taking money from fans for his legal expenses. The “I believe Tyler “campaign,it’s hard to get lower than that.Even Lance was right to call him and Landis out for that
@@philthornton1382Armstrong called the European doping body about TH before ANYONE else. Armstrong grassed first because he wasn’t winning. Armstrong didn’t go down for doping, he went down for doping and being a prick.
@Val O'Connell Danish origins pal. I don’t see why you get butt hurt about a pretty innocuous epithet like paddy, when a fellow countryman of yours trashes every rider on here… apart from the Irish ones, of course, who doped just as much on the same teams. Rather hypocritical, wouldn’t you agree?
@Val O'Connell both Roche and Kelly tested positive in their careers, which is no surprise - they were all doping back then, as they are now, so what is it with these moralising Irish journos and cycling fans? You are no cleaner than anyone else, you just hardly ever win anything.
Some former riders put it in their books. Other amounts released from riders testimony against Lance. Haven't read Hamilton's book, but he speaks openly how much he was injecting with Postal, and how much he seen Lance inject.
I don’t hold anything bad against Tyler. He fell into Lance’s culture(the culture of the day). He is extremely sick about what he did. It’s easy to judge him after all these years.
Say what you want about doping, it’s literally the only reason why people give this channel a moment of their time. Keep fabricating your outrage about doping while at the same time getting financial/social revenue off of them. That’s some great irony.
Cycling was such a 'nerdy' sport for 'geeks', at least in my country. I got ZERO respect from my peers when I was cycling back in HS in the 80s in the northestern US. 'Doping' made this sport one of the 'cool guy' sports.
that sounds super strange lmao i think cycling would have cooler image without those leather latex fits and the sunglasses 😄 ngl i would rock them to but i tried and felt like wearing a big pampers
In such a ruthless sport run by ruthless people and ruthless athletes. We are calling out ruthlessness . What ? Okay , just stop being ruthless and be ethical . Got it .
Anyone riding clean not only wouldn’t win the TDF, they wouldn’t even finish anywhere near the top twenty. It was thus, for right or wrong a level playing field. Lance cheated, but so too did every other too rider. Team Sky were supposedly anti doping, but we’ve since found out it was using exemptions to get around doping regulations. No such thing as racing on bread and water alone. Not if you want to win.
Ratting out the biggest fraud cycling has ever had and thay is bad? Also Lance is a terrible human being who destroyed people's lives just because he could. You make it seem like Lance had honour... lmfaoau
F-ing amazing how years of dedication and talent were superceded instantly by the usurpation of the sport by all the influx of previously unranked "docteurs".
I am going to go out on a limb here ( doped limb) but no one in any road or track cycling has ever won a single race clean on any tour or competition and looking at bikes vs time records vs weights of bike the results speak for themselves.
I am going to go out on a limb and offer that anyone who thinks everyone is bad, a cheater, dirty etc, and cannot imagine anyone could do the right thing and be honest, is probably a lousy person themselves and projecting.
@@nealm6764 Never seen an amateur cyclist cheat, first thing they are not on 10,000$ road bike, second they simply don’t have skills to need the dope, lastly they ride a 500$ bike.
the only tour armstrong would have lost if ullrich didn't fall in the last TT. even a muled up hamilton had no shot against these 2 muled up. maybe without his collarbone breaking? i don't think so.
I do love these channels. But am I the only one that doesn't want doping to leave cycling? It is part of the romance, and from what I understand necessary for the parcours. What pro sport is clean? At least it makes sense in cycling given the impossibility of the task at hand in grand tours. They'd have to shorten the GTs if there was no doping.
It would be quite funny to see a clean TDF. Half the field would drop out in the second week and the rest would be crawling to Paris. The collective confusion of all the willfully ignorant cycling fans would be amusing to say the least.
@@andredeketeleastutecomplex I used to be like you. Then I grew up and realized how the world works. What really got me thinking was how they treated Lance. Granted it was USADA that did it, not the euros. He was a sacrifice. I hated Lance. Now I love him. Every sport is dirty. And even the definition of dirty is sketch.
Not sure I'm alone on this, but why the music? Second, Hamilton's '01 TDF goes to show just how vast the difference was between the doped and the not doped. This one may argue makes claims such as ''they were all doped, the same riders would've won anyway' somewhat suspect. But in Hamilton, why make a video, you could just interview him?
Approach In US Postal, a shitty contract. He told in his book that Livingston and Andreu wanted more salary but Lance fired them. In CSC, a better one but far from Ullrich, Pantani or Lance of course. (paying 150k to Ufe only in christmas is not for everyone) In Phonak, he would be the king of the block after this show of 2003 tdf.
Fun to watch but I would consider it a bit misleading about Tyler's progression as a cyclist. Having known him during college he went from not being a cyclist to one of the best amateurs in a year. He started late and still had an extremely successful career. Not just because he doped. Also, the US was and is extremely poor at developing and supporting talent in Sport. I don't know a single cyclist from Boulder from that generation including the pros and semi pros in Boulder that given a chance to race in Europe at the highest level wouldn't have at least considered a program given the opportunity. I personally worked in Antarctica for a winter season following the path of two other aspiring mountain bike pros just to be able to race full time myself for a season.
I always thought Hamilton to be the most hypocritical liar. He was full at max ,faked injuries and was respinsible for the maybe most unsportsmanship moment in tdf history when he deliberate sliwed down the field 2001 to get his buddy Armstrong back only for Armstrong to use that sprinting away from behind . These were two of the most criminals on the tour. But americans aleays have to overplay the jesus like redemption arc. Armstrong does it amd Hamilton now too

Be careful when going to the dentist, especially after eating chicken, LMAO!
this channels videos have been taken to another level with the new addition of the narrator during the past 6 months or so. The Irish guy is gold!!
His book The Secret Race is a good read.
Learned a good bit on that book too, made me look back when I was watching Lance....
Does it dish the dirt on Riis and Phonak?

Still waiting for the video on sean Kelly and Roche though.
You're idolising the video creator ironically.
Realistically these guys need to dope. If uci want to shorten the tours maybe it would be less necessary.
@@brianmcg321 they were all "forced" to dope.
@@puckloki873 If UCI was serious about catching dopers (instead of taking bribes from them), the distance would hardly make a difference.

Dig the fiddle music 🎻 🎶....great job sir. Entertaining and educational. Thumbs up....
Ratted out? Seriously? How about admitted his faults and gave up all his medals.
He was a grass, just like hincapie and landis, deserves zero respect
Only admitted it when threatened with jail after years of taking money from fans for his legal expenses. The “I believe Tyler “campaign,it’s hard to get lower than that.Even Lance was right to call him and Landis out for that

It was Bjaarne "three ciggies" Riis himself who gave me that advice. "Don't go to the dentist after eating chicken. Dentist first. Fancy a line?"
Ulrich was the one smoking 3 cigarettes, they were on the same team but other than that how can you mix those two up?
Matey, still waiting for the stories on Kelly and Roche. Nowt on Irish cyclists. They're all saints presumably.
Exactly. Also noticed and commented on this. Same thing with that paddy journalist Walsh. All those Irish riders are clean as a penny whistle.
Why don’t you create a video yourself seeing as you apparently know so much about Kelly & Roche?
@Lewis. We're a spaniard team, not irish. Irish is our voice.
We talk about Kelly in our Cycling Rankings channel and put a mention in his doping.
@Val O'Connell Danish origins pal. I don’t see why you get butt hurt about a pretty innocuous epithet like paddy, when a fellow countryman of yours trashes every rider on here… apart from the Irish ones, of course, who doped just as much on the same teams. Rather hypocritical, wouldn’t you agree?

I always smash Strava on the way back from dentists
Strava? What's that!
Everybody doped back then, to me Hamilton is still a fantastic cyclist
The most clean pro riders ever:
Everyone from UK, Scotland and Eire
maybe not david millar...
.........what are you even doing here?
I believe that the guy behind Cycling Stories are spanish.
And they’re not known to be doped.
Im from germany and clean too (8 months soon)
time to cover Chris Horner guys, the 41-year-old who managed to win La Vuelta
Yes they should!🙂
LA threatened him when he was going to talk
Good. He deserved it.
I hope hear more from the Irish narrator in 2023. I miss his cycling stories.....
It would be great if he narrated track and marathons too.
A remarkably detailed account. What I'm wondering is, how is it possible to get this kind of inside information?
Some former riders put it in their books. Other amounts released from riders testimony against Lance. Haven't read Hamilton's book, but he speaks openly how much he was injecting with Postal, and how much he seen Lance inject.
Awwwwwwwww yessss, just DOPED my Saturday 🤗🤗🤗
but that...is another story... I can't recover from that. LOL
The biggest disgrace with Landis in that doping era
Shocking he still has his honours albeit minus the Olympic medal.
I don’t hold anything bad against Tyler. He fell into Lance’s culture(the culture of the day). He is extremely sick about what he did. It’s easy to judge him after all these years.
Never laughed so hard as hearing about the “chimera defence “
When it happened.
He admitted his own doping and he let wada know what Lance was up to.
Surprising that so much of the archive footage from these cycling videos are from Danish tv
These titles are so gross and wrong, but at the same time theyre so true😭😭😭
13:03 ...Riis in the car, 'c'mon son have faith in the epo you can do this!'
Ullrich and his radio-active legs made me proper lol
Hey e if they all are doped then it makes it a fair race😂
Pretty much. Bit some riders can afford better doctors. That's why none of them should be allowed to even drink water. Level the playing fieldm

1:02 that's not Criterium footage, that's from the tour of Denmark
I am convinced it is impossible to win any classic or tour clean.
It's difficult to win against cheats without cheating.
Discredits the sport, though.
No one can win it clean. Everyone was doping. Everyone.
Your comments are insane
That was by then, todayis the same CIRCUS!!!!!!!
