Vikings fullback Felton charged with DWI
NEW YORK, May 20 (UPI) -- Cycling champion Tyler Hamilton has surrendered the gold medal he won in the 2004 Athens Olympics, officials said Friday.
The U.S. Anti-Doping Agency said it now has Hamilton's medal, The Wall Street Journal reported. Officials said they will work with the U.S. and International Olympic committees to investigate Hamilton's charge that Lance Armstrong used banned drugs to enhance his performance and his own admission that he used them.
Chris Manderson, Hamilton's lawyer, said his client gave up the medal so it would not become a distraction. Hamilton has not admitted using performance-enhancing drugs during the Olympics but said in an interview to be broadcast on the CBS show "60 Minutes" that he used them at other times in his career.
Hamilton was with the U.S. Postal Service cycling team from 1995 to 2001, while Armstrong rode with the team from 1998 to 2005. Armstrong, through a lawyer, denies Hamilton's charges.
