  1. Assuming that Tyler was salaried at $900,000 per year, his monthly income
    has just taken a $75,000 hit. Will his sponsors continue with a teamless
    rider?

  2. How much you wanna bet that team Phonak's ownership pursues legal
    action against Hamilton and company for destroying their business
    plans for 05 (and beyond)? Not only did Hamilton screw himself, but
    he screwed everyone else along the way. Heck, I'd imagine that he'll
    be fielding lawsuits from some of his financially damaged teammates
    too (and if that happens, you might see some REALLY interesting
    evidence come out into the open).

    No way. The sport is too dirty for other people in it to want to risk
    opening things up in court like that.

    I thought truthful comments, such as yours, are never to written in RBR.
    Remember, there isn't anything dirtier, than the secrets that RBR tries to
    conceal.

  5. If they don't sue him, then that sort of confirms the dirtiness for
    Phonak. Any good business manager would seek to recover damages that
    were directly caused by the illegal activity of another person.

  6. "sort of confirms" is an interesting phrase.

    No they wouldn't. They would first determine how judgment proof the entity was,
    consider the possible payoff versus cost, and the risk of a negative judgement.

    Don't assume some sense of altrusim plays out or even matters. Practical
    matters have much more weight.
