NEW YORK -- Former professional cyclist Tyler Hamilton has been subpoenaed to appear before a grand jury, though his attorney refused to say whether it has anything to do with a federal investigation involving former teammate Lance Armstrong.
Chris Manderson said late Friday that Hamilton, a teammate of Armstrong on the U.S. Postal Service team, "understands his legal obligations" and will cooperate with the grand jury.

The subpoena of Hamilton was first reported by ESPN.com.

"I can`t comment on whether it`s the Lance Armstrong doping case," Manderson told The Associated Press. "I can`t comment on anything other than the fact that it`s been received and he will cooperate."

Hamilton is among several former teammates and staff members of Armstrong to have been contacted by investigators since disgraced cyclist Floyd Landis went public with allegations of organized doping on the U.S. Postal Service team. Armstrong was the leader of the team, which later become Discovery Channel, and helped him win a record seven Tour de France titles.

Ryan Van Duzer is once again jumping on a bike for another epic two-wheeled tour. This time he’s heading down the west coast, 3,000 miles from Vancouver to Cabo San Lucas.

Every inch of the journey will be documented with words, pictures and everyone’s favorite, VIDEOS! All the daily action will be at http://ryanvanduzer.com as well as weekly articles printed in the DailyCamera.

The goals are:

A.) Travel at 15MPH and discover an America you can’t experience while wizzing by in a vehicle.

B.) Ryan will riding for the People for Bikes campaign, gathering signatures to help build a national movement to improve cycling in our country.

C.) Raise money for Community Cycles, an amazing bike advocacy group in Boulder committed to getting people on bikes.

In Ryan’s words, “I’m 31 and have never had a driver’s license, if I can ride thousands of miles on a bike, more people can think about leaving their car in the garage and instead ride bicycles around their communities, our planet needs our help.”

The ride will be as eco friendly as possible, no support cars allowed! Ryan will pull a trailer with all his gear, including a computer and camera to be able to broadcast the adventure in near real time.
