DENVER, Nov 22 (CP) - Former Phonak Hearing Systems rider Tyler Hamilton's CAS hearing has been scheduled for January 10th. The cyclist has been accused of using doping, and hopes to prove his innocence.
Hamilton was found guilty of using doping through blood transfusion, and was disqualified from the Vuelta a Espaņa in 2004.
The Olympic time-trial champion has always denied the use of doping, but was suspended for a period of two years. The coming CAS (Court of Arbitration for Sport) hearing is his second, and will be held in Denver, Colorado.
The decision is expected to be announced within a few weeks.
