If he was doping, yes, he should be stripped of the TDF title...although I think the title will be held up pending the inevitable court battle, which (if history is any indication) Landis will ultimately win. He will keep his title, but his reputation will be forever tarnished.

I don't know if I'll even watch the TDF next year...what a major bummer this whole thing is...

Before this landis thing, but after the TdF, a local "free" paper had an article about drugs in cycling, where they talked to a former world class cyclist about it. He basically says that all the top guys do it, and the teams encouraged it. That they have cutting edge scientists making the drugs, making the masking agents, and figuring out how to beat the tests..

I read that, and then 2 days later, this comes out... wow.. major bummer.
