Hamilton's back!
Moderator: robbosmans
Can you guys guess for what team he signed?
Many peoples talk about Tinkoff, which seems the most realistic option for him right now.

He should come back good as unlike others such as Millar, he has not stopped riding since his ban started.

I would say the festina team is his best option. Actually the doping technology he used was more famous on the 1984 US Olympic team. I really don't care what he does now. He never fessed up and admitted anything. Show some sack and just a little personal acountability. At least David Millar admitted to what he did. I have more respect for him racing now that I ever will Hamilton. I am sure Tyler could care less if I respect him or not, but this is the internet and it allows for the free anonymous trashing of people after all.

I heard it was Deda-TwinBro or the Chinese team Blut Doh Ping.
But maybe it was Stinkoff, I mean Tinkoff.

Actually NS, there's quite possibly a few more crimes he hasn't done the time for. And how he can keep that Olympic Gold I'll never know.
Anyway, this is about to turn into another Lance/Basso/Ullrich debate that goes on for 6 pages, so I'm out.
He's been linked to Tinkoff recently, but according to Cycling News its still unconfirmed.

If you commit a crime, go prison, get fined or whatever when your sentence is up, you are as innocent as the next man.
Why should cycling be any different?

Unless you are a convicted sex offender, in which case you are considered 'guilty' for life.
Regardless of whether you admit your crime and/or do your time, there are still somethings you can't do after a felony conviction. For example, you can't get government security clearance, and in many locales you can't get a permit to carry a conceilled weapon.
So, I maybe the Pro Cycling equavalent is not being about to ride for a ProTour team after a drug sanction?
