Everybody has to make a living somehow. His apparent only marketable skill (riding the bike fast) is no longer doable and it is my understanding he nearly went broke between defending against his positive doping test, his divorce, and other issues in his life.

He's been riding since the 80's, and has been trained by some stellar coaches over the years. He has no doubt learned a few things about coaching, periodization, high end supplementation regimens, and prep for big events like the Olympics, etc.. He was a very accomplished racer and in spite of his problems that knowledge is something he can potentially market to a segment of the riding population that wants his services. Not many coaches have an olympic gold medal, a US PRO Road Champ title, AND ridden at the front of the Tour de France with a broken collarbone whilst wearing a dog collar.

What else is he gonna do? Has anyone seen Roberto Heras', Floyd Landis', and soon enough - Danilo Di Luca's coaching sites yet??

Ha ha this pic is so funny

[CoachPotatoBilly]

He sorta looks disheveled like Pavel Tonkov towards the end of his career... Both Hamilton and Tonkov were super clean cut guys back in the mid 90's. Both Tonkov and Hamilton started doing crazy things at the end of their careers and I have a funny pic back at home that looks remarkably like the one above after Hamilton won the Mt. Wash hill climb a couple of years back...except like Tonkov, Hamilton is giving someone the finger after they called him a doper.... (it wasn't me!!!)

Though.. he is a doper..

It's one thing to be coached by a former pro. They will have plenty of experience to pass on. However in TH's case, and for that matter any other convicted doper, his past would taint any achievements made by one of his charges. Tey may be clean as a whistle but his unrepentant stance in the face of overwhelming evidence would raise serious doubts as to the veracity of any results gained. The same would hold true for Di Luca, Heras and Vinokourov.

His palmares, whilst impressive, are also very suspect. His Olympic gold is especially suspect. Only an error in storage stopped him losing that.

While I don't begrudge him making a living, I'd rather he found a job outside cycling. If that means he has to live in a bedsit and pack bags at the local market so be it. It's a job. No one has the right to the job they want.
