They’ll stop all this when a mediocre French cyclist finally wins The Tour. I live in France half the year. I love it here, but not necessarily the French leadership and bureaucrats who can often be small and spiteful. There are lots of reasons for this, which I can’t go into. However I truly believe in Floyd Landis and believe he will someday be vindicated.

Floyd’s clean – tis the French lab, WADA, USADA, and CAS that are low down, dirty, and dishonest.

The French lab failed to meet any reasonable standards of forensic science. They “lost” files, failed to have written SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures) and “created” records out of thin air.

Even the USADA appeal threw out the testosterone findings – which should be the “easy” lab work – but perversely they accepted the next test which is much more difficult to perform and is not justified to be performed if the testosterone is not conclusive.

Floyd picked up 5+ minutes from a slow to react peloton and he is crucified.

Oscar picked up 30 minutes or so in one stage and no one bats an eye.

Is anyone looking at this with both eyes open?

I met Floyd at a book signing near his hometown. He signed my book, “I won it fair and square.”

I thoroughly believe him.

Cheers!

Say it ‘aint so!

They also asked him to pay $100,000 to the USADA to reimburse them for the costs related to his challenging the doping charge. What a convenient number!
