"I made a mistake, and I paid a very high price," said Tyler Hamilton after signing for Tinkoff Credit Systems, the team owned by Russian entrepreneur Oleg Tinkov.
“Mistakes have been made and the price I had to pay was very high,” Hamilton said in a statement released by Tinkoff Credit Systems. “I've spent long months of turmoil that I've managed to overcome thanks to the help of my family and dearest friends. Now I am ready for a new challenge.”
I read the "I made a mistake comment" too. And I first read it on cyclingnews, but when I went back to look at it again, they had changed it to "mistakes were made." The first comment sounded like a confession. Maybe Tyler said he was misquoted and had it changed. Glad someone else caught the original quote..."I made a mistake." And glad procycling has it now.

The two are different, yep.
But "Mistakes have been made" did not appear in either the English ("I made a mistake"😉 or the Italian ("ho sbagliato"😉 versions of the statement.
