People have been asking me what i think about the whoel floyd landis thing.
Ive been telling them this.
1)when i met floyd at hte tour de georgia, got my picture with him, autograph etc. I said, 'behind you 100% floyd.' the look he gave me was unforgettable. It looked empty, surprised, like what i had said was something he himself did not believe. from then on, i knew the guy was full of shit.
2)that being said, what if these allegations are true, setting all other motivations for landis aside. what if he actually is right?
3)then usa cycling, armstrong, et al. +the sport's credibility would be marginalized to the point of table tennis, at least in the public's perception. of course people will still ride in great numbers, but itll take DECADES for sponsors to return the sport with the financial contributions/advertising/etc that the sport sees today.
at any rate, here are the emails, and theyre quite sad. landis probably needs psychiatric help in all honesty. however, we all know that in history when there is a lone individual that has some measure of truth in his statements that go against established tradition, theyre framed as an idiot or a heretic and locked away, never to be heard from again.
