Landis letter re drug use in cycling

[auscyclefan94]

I found it in blackcats post. And, while I don't know exactly who he is, I have been around enough to know that he is someone with connections and who knows people, and he has a copy of the email. And he posted it here. And the world of cycling is getting rocked today.

Not rocked,
It's being put off it's axis.

It's "The End" by the Doors....you've seriously never heard it?

Or was that sarcasm?

No, never heard it, or if I have I don't recognise it. I'm more of a Joy Division/Stone Roses/Madchester person.

That is the best you've got? Weak sauce chamois smeller, WEAK sauce. Better go away, this is not going to be a very good day for you.

I guess as Landis is bust, he's not afraid to say anything bad against others.

If it's going to court... Will everybody lie under oath in Armstrong's defence, that is the question!

Very much so. They messed with a guy who wrote it all down. I am proud to wear my Phonak socks in honor of Floyd Landis today. I have not worn them in years, but I still have them. Gonna be a bright, sunshiney day.

Dude, stop with the overdramatics. Cycling was here before Lance and it'll be here after Lance.

You would, but the majority would want the addict far far far away from their sheltered life. LA is just going to claim Landis is a sad, broke, serial liar. What can Floyd do against this unless he has a truly smoking gun (it must be more proof than what is already known!)? Floyd has no cash, no nike, no livestrong, no spindoctor team.

Landis is going to be tar black within days... I wish him the best.

Landis has named too many people and has exposed that there is corruption throughout the sport - this cannot be explained away by a simple press release.

Look at what happened Ullrich and Pantani - neither ever served a sanction (JUs was for ecstasy) yet both their careers plummeted.

Also we have only seen 1 email of 3 - and then theres the famous IM between JV& FA they say he has fotos of the motorcycle with pannier-bags - if he was left alone with LAs & Hincapies bloodbags he probably took fotos of that too.

as much as im greatfull for him telling the truth hes far from a hero - still lied, cheated and participated in it

 

[ElChingon]

FINALLY!!!!

I just hope the ball isn't dropped.

The bad is if he can pay off the UCI he might just fork over the motherload to get off again, money makes the world go around, cycling is no different.

So you don't think that sponsors will pull out? I'm sorry but tbh lance is cycling. Cycling has been put on the map because of him.

LA has never doped. Has never been proven to dope. Is the most tested athlete in sports. Just cause some hasbeen decides to start spreading lies, you all buy it. Follow the herd, just another cow.

True, but it has taken balls (or someone with nothing to lose) to finally say it. LA has spent 12 years bullying people who were too afraid to say anything. Finally, someone has the stones to step up to the plate.

Sponsors may pull out but will you stop riding your bike?

F-uck the pro scene!

For you.

For us, nothing could be farther from the truth. He's another rider. The sport is the sport, it was here before, it will continue to be the same afterward. Same goes for any other rider, team or race that goes down in flames

No, its because of us. If we don't watch/be fans it dies no matter who races it.

You really need to brush up on your cycling history. Kids. Tut.

Ullrich was suspended for six months for his positive test for ecstasy.

Squeaky Clean McQuaid

Reuters on McQuaid:

"He probably needed to get it off his chest. Why is he announcing it in the week of the Tour of California?" McQuaid told Reuters. "He must have an agenda."

Well, we all know where he stands. How inspiring of McQuaid.

And the procycling machine (UCI and Lance Incorporated) "agenda" will be to bury Landis, is that it?

Lets hope the journalists can give this story legs and really start to dig.

One thing I know, it's a disgrace that Floyd is ostracized and earning $25k year, whatever, while others continue high on the hog.

Floyd doesn't have an "agenda". His agenda is fairness, that quaint old concept.

Regards to Floyd.

He needs to team up with Hamilton. Another man sucked in and broken by the doping/omerta system. Another man with nothing to lose.

So there are a lot of liars out there i guess.

But a lot to gain...MONEY!

sorry only up to 520...jic this issue previously raised.

Do not PEDs constitute fraud. That is: obtaining financial advantage under false pretenses????
