Tyler Hamilton

That volume was the gateway here, and a lot of that comes down to this was pre-high carb.

In fact, a listener wrote a question that is not on this outline, it was in our Patreon outline, about Tyler Hamilton's book, The Secret Race.

So Tyler Hamilton, champion cyclist back in the day, doper, and in that book he talks about the way that they controlled their weight in the cycling peloton back then and, uh, all of these different things to make life miserable.

And the reason they did all of that is because they were trying to do stupid human tricks because they didn't have high carb.

And nowadays with high carb it's totally different.

Um, and so similar, it's how doping is governed, and which is an amazing connection, that the individuals are rarely bad people.

Though there are bad people, right? Like, the history of, like, say Lance Armstrong, it's, like, some of the things he did were basically evil, you know? Where it's not just responding to systems, it's, it's a little bit beyond that.

Tyler Hamilton seems like someone that was just responding to systems.

I went deep on the story as well.

I read Tyler's book and Tyler Hamilton's.

So I was pretty vocal at the time and, you know, had a different approach, I guess, to Lance.

And I really love Tyler's take on the whole thing.

And that was really interesting.

But I just, and it's not really a question.

Do you think that that has anything? Do you think it's higher? Meaning, you know, at the end of stage 20, you see Tadej Pogacar, who's doing 6.7 watts per kilo with very fatigued legs, not going freshly into a climb.

And I'm not trying to assimilate you with Tadej, with Tyler Hamilton, with Tom Danielson.

I'm just like, gosh, I have to assume your power would be even greater than six watts per kilo.

Yeah, I mean, I don't...

I would like to request a coach's corner on doping when we go away and do a bit of research and stuff because I've been on the five-hour flight back yesterday.

I read three-quarters of a book called The Secret Race, which is all about Tyler Hamilton.

who is one of the key riders for Lance Armstrong when he won his first two Tour de France's.

And it is just a completely open book on how they doped.

Well,

that's the Tyler Hamilton.

They break ranks.

You've never read the Tyler Hamilton book, have you?

I read the Tyler Durden Fight
