Tim Franks talks to Tyler Hamilton about cycling and doping within the sport.

Tim Franks talks to Tyler Hamilton, a former teammate and roommate of Lance Armstrong's, about cycling and doping allegations against Armstrong.

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?
