Ever wondered what it takes to win the Tour de France….Edgar Does.
Ever Wondered what it takes to beat the Doping contols put in place by the UCI……Edgar Does.
Ever Wondered how the Pro’s got away with it…..Edgar Does.
Now you can too. One of Edgar’s clients will be telling all in a breakfast event right here in Perth. Tyler Hamilton will be speaking at a Breakfast at the Perth Entertainment Centre on Thursday 8 August 2013 between 8 and 9.30 am. Cost is $98.
Clear your calenders, make a comment at the bottom of this post and I will arrange the appropriate number of tables.
Be Warned, There are limited tickets to this and this will sell out quickly.
I will give you to Easter to comment if you want to come before I start organising the tables.
I will organise the payments and you can all just pay me back (or you can book yourselves). Tables of 8 and if you want to sit with someone (or don’t want to sit with someone) tell me in the coments.
More (but not really that much more) info here
Sounds interesting. I’m in
Interesting the guy cheats….gets caught…..cheats again gets caught, continues to lie until he has no way out but to tell the truth.
He now tells all which I must admit is a fascinating story but sorry don’t feel happy this guy becoming rich off the back off events like this.
Would be good if he toured round warning juniors etc not to make the same mistakes but not happy that he has become celebrity speaker raking in the dollars in corporate type events like this……
I agree with Jonny and can’t help but think of Nicole Cooke’s retirement statement here.
“Tyler Hamilton will make more money from his book describing how he cheated than [Lyne] Bessette or I will make in all our years of our honest labour. The situation requires the very basics of morality. Please don’t reward people like Hamilton with money. That is the last thing he needs. Donate his literary prize and subsequent earnings from such publications to a charity. There are many places infinitely more deserving than the filthy hands of Hamilton.
Nicole’s whole statement is well worth a read.

This paragraph is gold…
“I have been robbed by drug cheats, but I am fortunate, I am here before you with more in my basket than the 12 year old dreamed of. But for many genuine people out there who do ride clean; people with morals, many of these people have had to leave the sport with nothing after a lifetime of hard work — some going through horrific financial turmoil. When Lance “cries” on Oprah later this week and she passes him a tissue, spare a thought for all of those genuine people who walked away with no reward – just shattered dreams. Each one of them is worth a thousand Lances.”
I read his book, very interesting , count me in
