Truth and transformation | Tyler Hamilton | TEDxPiscataquaRiver

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

Watching this testimony after having watched Lance’s interview with Oprah! Night and day! Tyler is movingly personal, owning the human condition in us all. Beautiful

[JoshTasker]

Good on him for having the guts to tell the truth even though it took awhile. A powerful TEDx. His book is a great read!

[manuelpaul]

Iam a french fan and I love Tyler. A good guy and a good rider... Thank You man !

[dannyrutar]

what a difference between Tyler telling the truth and Lance. Tyler is actually sorry. Lance is sorry he got caught.

I admire people like tyler for trying. no one is perfect. he is facing his mistakes. that is success in my book [not money or career]

[tddsctt]

Been a fan of cycling for years and I'm not convinced it's clean today. However I have to say thank you Tyler for continuing to speak out disputed the fears. Just to get up in front of a crowd to speak showed me you've got some big ones.

Courage has it's own value and reward, thank you Tyler! You are still an inspiration to what's truly good out there. I'm enjoying your book, The Secret Race, which was given to me by my son for Father's Day. He can read me Like a book! I'm currently laid up with a tibial fracture and ACL pull, hit the deck like a #pro, out for the count but not all is lost! After all, I get to read your book and watch the tour! Thanks again, you are so right, the lie is persistent and all around us not just in pro sports. It's systemic and takes courage and constant vigilance to overcome and stick with what's right and #true. Good luck, you certainly deserve it! Rubberside down!

[FranciscoElNeneGalan]

A true heroe, this guy has balls..loved the way he ended...felt better return g the gold medal than winning it

[jstrangm]

I also want to commend you on your presentation as well. I have taught for many years and presenting is one tough job, well done! It comes from the heart, no question. I'm still a believer! Cheers ...

[rodriguezahr]

[compassionatepeercounseling]

Wow! I was hanging on every word. Thank you.

[sukardji]

Thank you, Tyler. It's not easy to tell the truth but that's the right thing to do.

[alexisfernandez]

[cece-gbjk]

Wow, very impressive.. You are right..

[MsFrogster]

I congratulations tyler on this, well said for telling the truth, there are many many many cyclist that need to do this.

[SeanMacOirc]

The little ‘red egg capsule’ was your truth tablet Tyler. Good on you man! Your passport to the truth. Team Sky have a lot of red eggs to take!

[reenamadian]

How numb victories will feel when they are achieved dishonesty!

[camcat]

Wish I could have been there, but I was on my home from school (out of state) that day. Where was this shot?

[Hugatree]

The sad horrible truth is you can’t really finish this race without the help of drugs. It’s like what choice do you really have if you want to compete.

[guidomukk]

Yeaah they all doped. But what made Lance worse? Most succesful? No..it is power abuse. Bullying friends, team mates and all peloton, UCI..what ever. Man was a monster.
