Black Floyd
Well, that takes care of that I guess. Floyd Landis’ “B” sample was found to have the same synthetic testosterone as his “A” sample. It’s a real shame that this has happened, especially since before this year’s Tour started a lot of the favorites were pulled due to a doping scandal.
I understand the doping we see in MLB and other professional sports where there is a lot of money on the line, but in professional cycling, are we really talking that much money? I don’t get it.
Now we’ll just wait to see if Floyd is stripped of his win, which he certainly should be.
Yellow Floyd
Without much US fan-fare, Floyd Landis won the first post-Lance Armstrong Tour de France today. Check out this nicely written article on ESPN.
Floyd is an American rider, so that has to have the French (and the rest of Europe) hopping mad. They are finally rid of Lance and another Yank wins it. Of course, Floyd did win without some of the stronger riders not riding due to a drug/doping scandal. However, who’s to say they were strong and clean. Anyway, congratulations are in order and I’m sure the victory was even sweeter since he was riding with an arthritic hip that he’ll now have surgery on.
