On OTB AM this morning, Tyler Hamilton joins us to discuss his descent into the squalid depths of doping during his cycling career. We talk about team USPS and his relationship with the man who he helped to topple - Lance Armstrong.

As a US Postal Service team-mate of Armstrong, Tyler took part in a blood doping regime that was as chilling as it was professional, and his relationship with Armstrong is now in the pantheon of disgraced sporting legend. In May 2011, Tyler admitted to taking part in an industrial-level doping programme that would ultimately disgrace Armstrong and - due to his central position in the sport - cycling itself.

It was with this in mind that OTB AM conducted an interview with Tyler to better understand his motivations for doing so, the mentality required to to lie on a worldwide scale, as well as how it felt when winning the medals and losing the war against journalists determined to expose them.

On a completely different note, we also speak to the retiring Rena Buckley after her incredible career in the GAA. She will join us on the line to run through the highs and lows from her time as a star camogie and football player.
