Tyler Hamilton was one of the most talented American riders of his generation — an Olympic time-trial champion and a Tour de France stage winner — before he became one of its most important witnesses. His confession and his book The Secret Race did more than any other rider account to document how the EPO-era doping system actually worked, and who built it. For amateurs his value now is double: a hard-won, honest perspective on the culture that produced the era, and a coach's eye on how training and power-based racing have evolved since.
