This really is bad for sports in general.. now everyone is going to think a great performance = roid/juice. No athlete is clear from suspicion now.

of course no athlete is clear of suspicion, but a simple test clears anyone who isn't a doping dope.

Floyd reminds me of the Randy Quaid character in "Kingpin" in more ways than one. It had to have been a real-life Bill Murray who sabotaged him with a friendly rubdown of some testosterone cream.

well no hate from me if the french media runs over landis.

Unlike lance who stuck to his story and never tested positive. Landis tested positive then said 1st said it was natural then claimed drinking too much then dehydration after reports of synthetic testosterone came out. It was too obvious by then he juiced.

Maybe he should shot himself or whatever it they do with epitestosterone to bring the ratio level down.

Trust me... He was juiced before that. You don't take one shot and go win a race. He screwed up his regimine or took "x" when he should have taken "y." I'd bet that's it in a nutshell.

Has a few beers after 16... Fouls his "meds"... Voila! Positive test.

OMG... This is cycling... Other than track and field, there is no sport more tainted by drugs than cycling. They ALL cheat.


BTW... I agree with you. Fvck Landis. But he was not the only one in that race who was cheating. He's just the one who got caught.

It could be that he was coercers into juice up because his team is known for substance abuse.

Armstrong is NOT human! Didn't you watch that Discovery channel special on his body makeup? The guy's got abnormally larger/higher everything than avg. human beings!

Yeah, but it would have done him no good to shoot up that morning....which is what's so strange.

But, ya, same thing allegedly happened to Gatlin last week. Somebody slipped him the testosterone. MMmmmmmm.....TestosterAde.

Sadly, I can just see the idiots here (central PA where Fraud "douchebag" Landis is from) whining about "Those EVUL French people and their vendettas" and how it was "obviously" slipped in without him knowing about it.
