Fraud Landis finally comes clean


Three years after releasing a book proclaiming his innocence regarding the doping allegations fired at him following the 2006 Tour de France, American cyclist Floyd Landis has now suddenly admitted using banned performance-enhancing drugs throughout most of his professional career. In an interview with ESPN, Landis says he was no stranger to using epo, blood transfusions, human growth hormone, testosteron or insulin during the years he was riding for US Postal and Phonak. He also added that he was not the only one at US Postal. Typically, Lance Armstrong has already announced to hold a press conference on the matter later today. Don't expect any major revelations to come from that one. I wonder why the Big Tex gets still gets so uptight whenever someone links his name to the use of doping products. As if there must be stuff he's hiding. Anyway, of course there is. It has been medically, only not legally, proven that he was riding on epo during the 1999 Tour de France, the first one he won. But so was 75% or more of the professional peloton back then.

Here's a link to the new Landis story
