OK, that's it...

Honestly, I have been reading bulletin boards about the Landis doping scandal, and here is the conclusion that I've come to.

American cycling fans are idiots. Well, most are. Here we have a guy who has failed a couple of tests, well, 3 actually, and he's a popular American who just won le Tour de France. What do American cycling fans do? They start making up conspiracy theories about French labs tainting his samples, and trying to sabotage his win. Why? Because the French couldn't stand an American winning 8 times in a row. People, this is freakin' ridiculous. The man had fake or synthetic testosterone in his system. He failed 2 other doping tests for testosterone to epitestosterone ratio being out of whack. There is a lot of actual scientific evidence out there saying that he did it. And what do we have from the Landis camp? We have whacked out excuses, and the same old tired lines that doper after doper have been handing out for years on end.

So now Landis has 2 appeals coming to him. He'll most likely lose both. Lose his Tour de France title, and will most likely never ride professionally again in his lifetime. There is no conspiracy going on against Landis, he's a doper. Pure and simple. As I said in a previous post, thanks for ruining the sport just a little more Floyd. Thanks for taking it down a notch or 5.
