Floyd Landis

Lance Armstrong

So did he deny the drug allegations or the finger banging?

"It's our word against his word," Mr. Armstrong said in Visalia, Calif., before the fifth stage of the Tour of California. "I like our word. We like our credibility.''

Is that the Royal we...the editorial we?

Originally Landis claimed he didn’t do it. He seemed credible in the claim. He came from a good family and a good community and used their credibility to boost his claims of innocence. He took legal action. He didn’t have enough money to continue to pursue legal action so he solicited funds and wrote a book to help with those costs.

Now he changes the story - he did do it (but it wasn’t his fault because everyone else was doing it). Does he plan to return all of the contributions to his defense fund? Will he need a new defense fund to defend himself from blow back from these latest accusations? What is the purpose of all this now - can’t get a spot on The Shack? Johan didn’t tweet nice things about him? He misses the spotlight now that his really racing ability can’t place him in it? An attempt to bring shame to the sport that ousted him?

Lance Armstrong is the most drug tested athlete in the history of sports.

There probably hasn’t been one serious contender for the Tour de France in 50 years who hasn’t been on something. Sorry, it is the nature of the sport.

Lance is a genetic freak, not a doper.
