Tyler Hamilton, an American cyclist who accused former teammate Lance Armstrong of taking performance-enhancing drugs, turned in his 2004 Olympics gold medal to the United States Anti-Doping Agency.
Hamilton, 40, tested positive for blood doping at the 2004 games in Athens and was allowed to keep the medal in the individual time-trial event because no back-up test could be done. He returned the medal to the USADA, the Colorado Springs, Colorado-based agency said today in an e-mailed statement.
