Hi All,
Floyd Landis has finally come clean. And in ironic twist, he threatens to throw dirt on others. Floyd Landis, in an interview with ESPN on Wednesday night, finally fessed up to his doping past, admitting to having taken performancing-enhancing drugs since 2002 (when he was with Lance's US Postal Team). We already suspected as much, since Floyd did test positive during the 2006 Tour de France.
Landis admitted to spending upwards of $90,000 per year on performing-enhancing drugs, including EPO, testosterone, HGH, and blood doping. He allegedly kept detailed records of his drug regimens while he rode for USPS and Phonak.
But now he wants to "clear his conscience", and has sent letters to a whole bunch of cycling organizations and anti-doping associations, letting them know how he got away for so many years, who else doped with him, who knew about it, and threatens to blow apart American cycling. Apparently, according to Velonews.com, Landis makes allegations against Lance Armstrong, Johan Bruyneel, Levi Leipheimer, Dave Zabriskie, and George Hincapie, among many others who he raced with or against.
Is Floyd just flapping his gums, hoping to hurt others who turned their back on him when he got caughts, or is this the tip of the biggest doping iceberg ever?
As always, we will see - beginning with Lance's press conference before Thursday's Stage 5 of the Tour of California.
