For your TDF ping list.

This story keeps getting weirder and weirder.

I try to like Landis but this makes him look terrible.

This is a mostly French sport. Who cares? What’s the latest curling news?

I can’t stand Lemond, and think that he’s a very jealous, small person. That said, this testimony (coupled with Landis’ manager’s apology) is pretty damning.

This article is poorly written.

Did I read LeMond testified that Landis admitted to taking drugs and Landis's manager was strong arming LeMond?

Can this story get any more detailed. Man.

So the essense of the relevance is that what Lemond has testified to would be leaked to prevent his testimony? That’s what I get out of this story. I thought this was about doping and not whether somebody was molested 40 years ago.

What is LeMonde running from ... maybe himself?

I was watching PTI with my son yesterday afternoon while they discussed this. I said that I still didn't think the doping charges made sense b/c you have to take testosterone for months for it to enhance your performance. Taking it for one day would not have any effect. His tests the day before and the day after were both negative.
My son said that he thought it looked very bad and that I was probably the only person left in America who still thinks he is innocent. I reminded him that a year ago, the very same sports guys were trashing the Duke lacrosse team and saying that they should come clean (sound familiar?). As my son goes to Duke, he immediately conceded my point.
Is Landis innocent? I happen to still think he is but I certainly will not accept the media’s “judge and jury” assessment. They have no credibility in my book.

I would also describe LaMond as bitter. I don’t know what he is bitter about but you get the feeling that he wants to destroy anyone who succeeds in cycling from the US.
