Poor Tugger

I just watched a painful video interview with Tyler Hamilton after the Vuelta a California. Has there been a bigger fall of a person's reputation? Yes, Phloyd lost the Tour '06, that's bigger. But Tyler was all-American boy, Tugger the wonder dog, Haven the faithful bride, the whole thing. And now he's on a rogue team that isn't even allowed to ride. Is it fair that he can't ride? I'm not so sure. He's done his time. But man, it's just painful.
