''Just some dude?''. He is a former doped tour winner who spent years in the peloton right at the coalface, I think he has more knowledge than you me and plenty of other people on this forum put together. If you need me to spell out the comments that are newsworthy then you fit neatly into the category of children that Landis refers to. I don't know why you feel the constant need to slate other peoples opinions as though you are the fountain of all knowledge but if it makes you feel better then work away.
To summarise. Someone claims that "mainstream cycling journalists will not report this article. Just watch, it will not even get a mention in the daily newspapers, when given his experiences in the sport, this should be sports headline news." Someone - me - asks "What in it is worth reporting?" Twice. And both times the same answer: (summarised) it's Floyd freakin' Landis! Which, oddly, fails to quote or even point to anything in the interview that is in any way newsworthy, other than to those who hang on every word out of the mouth of Floyd freakin' Landis. So, third time being a charm and all that, let's try the question one more time: what in it is worth reporting?
How about this bit.
CN: There was the mystery package delivery to Wiggins and the TUE issue with Sky as well. (Landis pivots the question to address the 'mistaken' shipment of testosterone that Team Sky and British Cycling doctor Richard Freeman received at the Manchester Velodrome in 2011).
Landis:
They tried to claim that in the middle of all this, that just by coincidence some pharmacy mailed a bunch of testosterone to their headquarters, and that was purely an accident.
Has that ever happened to you? Have you ever just received a bunch of testosterone? Yeah, me neither. Well, not when I wasn't ordering it.
Given that there is still an ongoing UKAD investiagtion going on into the practices of Team Sky/BC I would have thought that the British press would report this in it's sports section.
He knows full well that it is cloud cuckoo land stuff together with the 55 vials of kenacort apparently used by Sky staff members, the transportation of Fluimacil across the continent, the stolen laptop, the lack of medical records etc.
A former tour winner gives his thoughts on what he thinks yet there is no sign of it in the UK sporting press this morning and there have been no questions from British media as to why exactly this investigation is taking so long to conclude by UKAD.
