In case anyone actually missed Tyler Hamilton’s interview on 60 Minutes last night: Tyler Hamilton Interview, part 1: Tyler Hamilton Interview, part 2: 60 Minutes Overtime Interview with Scott Pelley: Every person (with the exception of Fernando Escartin) who has finished on the podium at the Tour de France with Lance Armstrong [...] There’s been a lot of chatter on various sites about Riccardo Ricco’s current “situation” … but the upshot of a lot of it is that the sport will be better off (and cleaner) without him.
