BBC World Service - HARDtalk, Tyler Hamilton - Former professional cyclist

Tim Franks in conversation with former professional cyclist Tyler Hamilton.

For years, it's been one of the biggest questions in sport. 

Did Lance Armstrong - the seven time winner of cycling's greatest race, the Tour de France - dope?  

Is the man who beat cancer to become one of the greatest sporting figures ever - a cheat? 

Armstrong has denied wrongdoing. 

But now a former teammate and roommate of Armstrong's, Tyler Hamilton, has produced the most detailed and wounding set of allegations yet.  

Is Hamilton self-serving and greedy, as Armstrong insists?  

Or a shaft of light on a sport that's been mired in murk?
