Landis in the News Again

He had too much whiskey with his buddies the night before Stage 18. He had "unnormally" low levels of testosterone. These are just two of the numerous excusses Floyd Landis alleged in defense of his positive tests for performance-enhancing drugs following the 06' Tour de France. But the you-know-what hit the fan yesterday for Landis as the arbitrator's ruled the positive tests were accurate, despite Landis's continual denial.

"I am innocent, and we proved I am innocent," Floyd said in a statement released yesterday. The ruling strips the 06' Tour de France title from the Lancaster, PA native and levees a two year ban against him in cycling. Landis becomes the first to lose the title for doping in the 105 year existence of the Tour.

Opinion: Words of Advice, Floyd
-Floyd go away. Move back with your parents in Lancaster because that is one of the few places you can actual escape the spotlight and go "under the radar". Instead of cycling, use the horse and buggies they use in the Amish Country to get around. Who knows, maybe its another sport you can cheat in. And by the way, we are a forgiving nation, Floyd. At any point, drop the charade and admit to cheating.

He got caught and has been found guilty twice. Get over it and take the suspension.
