| Floyd Landis may lose his title!? Posted: 8/4/2006 3:53:46 AM | | Vindicator- if I'm not mistaken,second place was held by a rider from Spain- Which really makes me wonder about the validity of this claim in the first place- it was a Spanish company that administered the drug tests! This was said at the begining of the race when Ulrich and all those other riders were eliminated at the begining. They need to straighten this mess out!This has gone from a possible cheating rider, to what looks suspiciously like a crooked organization! | |
|
| Floyd Landis may lose his title!? Posted: 8/4/2006 5:36:13 AM | The guys name is Oscar Pereiro. He is from Spain and he is a good guy. He already stated that he hoped Floyds B test comes back negative. I think a conspiricy of the testing lab is out of the question. | |
|
| Floyd Landis may lose his title!? Posted: 8/4/2006 7:27:04 AM | | I wouldn't be so sure of that. It's the same lab that used unlegal procedures on Lance Armstrong's B samples from 1999. | |

| Floyd Landis may lose his title!? Posted: 8/5/2006 3:29:21 PM | | Floyd the 'royd' should be stripped of his title and banished from the sport for life.I'm sick of people sticking up for these cheating athletes simply for patriotic reasons.An athletes country of origin should'nt even come into the equation when debating this problem.If they cheat ,they're gone.Simple as that.These guys are the lowest of the low.They are morally bankrupt and amount to nothing more than greedy pricks.They bring down the credibility of the sport in general and ruin it for the honest athletes.They found synthetic testosterone in his system and he still has the nerve to deny he took anything.Give me a break.What a loser. | |
|
| Floyd Landis may lose his title!? Posted: 8/5/2006 3:48:58 PM | The good thing about this is that it has seriously hurt cycling. German television had said it would stop carrying the race if the second test came back positive. The cheating will end now. Either they will start testing seriously or it will become so irrelevant that there will be no financial incentive to cheat. And those who still think Lance Armstrong was racing clean? You should join the Michael Jackson and O.J. Simpson fan clubs. | |

| Floyd Landis may lose his title!? Posted: 8/5/2006 4:50:16 PM | | funny thing is they didn't question Miguel Indurain's whopping 6 wins in the late 80's&90's, that's what gets me. I remember back in the day they were even questioning Gregg Lemond (who won three) but they didn't have a testing method set up then- AND YOU NEVER HEARD A WHISPER ABOUT IT DURING INDURAIN'S REIN! And this was the man that beat Eddy Meryx's (sp) climbs over the alps! That wasn't done again until Armstrong's sixth race-then you hear cheater!!!! Go figure, here's your sign.... | |
|
| Floyd Landis may lose his title!? Posted: 8/5/2006 5:03:26 PM | | Actually you didn't hear cheater over here. In Europe they were mighty suspicious all along. He had never been much of a cyclist, then BAM, right after major surgery he's unbeatable. | |
|
| Floyd Landis may lose his title!? Posted: 8/5/2006 7:50:36 PM | | The only reason he got caught was because of all the accusations against Lance Armstrong. Everyone knew he was doping. Only difference? Lance was smart enough to not get caught. | |
|

Lance Armstrong. Everyone knew he was doping. Only difference? Lance was smart enough to not get caught.
Best joke i've read on the net for ages. When will some of you Armstrong haters accept, that Armstrong was never proven doped? Untill proven guilty everybody is presumed innocent, so why the constant Armstrong bashing? | |
|

| Floyd Landis may lose his title!? Posted: 8/6/2006 4:08:14 PM | He's a cheater. That's why they bash him. Jeez, if he's not caught with the actual needle in his arm you figure he's a hero. Look, over 90% of the men he was competing against were on 'roids. How did he manage to beat all those others when he wasn't able to do it before? If everyone was clean, he might have been the best. But there's no way to know that.
Remember Florence Griffith Joiner? Peaked in 1980 and started going slower as she got older, went to Eastern Europe to train and won in '84; died tragically young because of it. That's the problem. This abuse kills. She was the best when she was clean against all the other cheaters, but had to cheat to stay competitive.
Cycling is the worst sport out there for abuse. Of course Armstrong was cheating. | |

| Floyd Landis may lose his title!? Posted: 8/6/2006 8:56:21 PM | | if 90% of threse guys were on some type of performance enhancing drug or 'roids as you call them. how does that make HIM the cheater? i'll answer that for you. because he was an american and he won. of all of the track and field competitors out there you bring up flo joyner. why? because she was an american and she won. | |

that Armstrong was never proven doped
'Never proven' doesn't mean he didn't do it. Like I said, he was smart enough to not get caught. O.J. was proven not guilty, yet we all know he did it/ had something to do with it. | |

Rumours have it, that NASA developed a special stuff for Armstrong, which can never be find with scientific methods. You've read about that, too?  | |

| Floyd Landis may lose his title!? Posted: 8/7/2006 10:25:44 AM | | Son, your Mum should have thaught you some manners. The internet isn't the place for personal offences. Have a great day and come back with evidences to support your points, please. | |

Have a great day and come back with evidences to support your points, please. What evidence do you have that he's innocent? He was accused, said he wasn't guilty, didn't sue the lab for defamation, and was suppose to return after beating cancer but went against it after the scandal came out. The story eventually died down, but a legal battle is going on rigth now that the media doesn't report on.
7 Tour De France victories, he was going to come back for an 8th but decided not to because he was accused of doping before. Sounds a little suspicious to me.
your turn. | |

| Floyd Landis may lose his title!? Posted: 8/7/2006 1:16:35 PM | Back to Landis for a minute ;)
Well, the 'B' sample was positive as well. Not only that, but they found synthetic testosterone. I think the debate is basically over.
Landis needs to save face now. Admit what he did and move on. The litany of stupid excuses is farcical. The hard-liquor scenario is almost as good as Ben Johnson's 'they spiked my water bottle' line. People are more apt to forgive a guy that tells the truth than one that continues the BS (see Pete Rose.)
For what it's worth, I thought his ride on stage 17 was epic. 'Roids' or not! | |
|
| Floyd Landis may lose his title!? Posted: 8/7/2006 1:25:50 PM | | what evidence do you have that he's innocent??? did you just say that with a straight face? are you on the juice? no? prove it. don't want to? sounds a little suspicious to me. | |

Accused by whom? L'Equipe, the french version of The Sun? Armstrong was never caught doped and that's the only fact I know. What evidence is it, that he didn't sue the Lab? And that the media wouldn't report about a legal case in court and connected to Armstrong? You may believe that, i won't. Armstrong never really thought to ride for another Tour after he won 7 times. Where did you get the info from? | |
