Landis may clean in his mind, for all he knows HE didn;t do anything wrong according to his knowledge, o.k. fair enough. But, when you work for a HUGE corporation that pays you ALOT of money to ride a bike for a living, they expect results, and nothing more and definitately nothing less, ever. So when asked to go see the team doctor, who knows what the doctor was told to do. What did he stick Floyd with? We'll know in about 3 weeks, that's for sure. I used to be a pro cyclists I raced in Europe on my own dollar, I raced for small shitty teams, we never won a goddamn thing, I never felt the fame some of the "colorado camp" kids felt, I just raced day in and day out to feed myself. I've seen alot of truely disgusting behavior in cycling, behavior unfitting a so called professional. I quit because I couldn;t compete unless I wanted to give in to drugs, and I'm certainly not about that. Who knows about Floyd, we may never know, but the damage is certainly done indeed.

Maybe b/c I like weird bikes, I might turn it into a fixie. Any thoughts? BTW, Landis is clean- just my gut telling me so.
