When I heard this story, I first had to look up Floyd Landis on the Internet to make sure I had the right guy. Not off to a good start so far, huh Landis. He had initially won the 2006 Tour de France but was stripped of that win because of a failed drug test. Now Landis has admitted his PED use saying he used it for most of pro cycling career and the 2006 Tour de France. Landis, however, couldn't stop there as he has accused many other fellow athletes of drug use, including Lance Armstrong. Armstrong, of course, denies these allegations from Landis.
I'm not sure what to make of this. Of course no one should believe Landis initially because of his track record but he could possibly be Jose Canseco. What if he is the tell all man about the sport? Canseco was right about many athletes he named in his book. Landis could be telling the truth as well. Not only that but Armstrong seems to have attracted the eyes of those who want to accuse him of drug use. Of course we should believe Armstrong now but I would watch the accusations that Landis made against the other riders and see if they have merit.
P.S. I'm sorry for not blogging the last three days. I would like to say I was doing something productive but I was playing Red Dead Redemption. The most addictive game I have played to date. I may have to check into rehab.
