hotrod has a link to an even-handed story on the whole Floyd thing. Check it out.

On recommendation from hotrod I just listened to Floyd Landis' news conference on ESPN radio.

There is more to this than my initial reaction, I think. The jury is still out on Floyd. But, cycling is corrupt through and through. That's a fact (in my brain).

What I REALLY hate are 'journalists' like Jamie Keaton from AP goading and looking for a sensationalistic quote. Check this out:

here's another one:

Can you believe that?! "Floyd, would you ever lie to your Mom". Pass the barf bag...

Here's a great quote from a German TV network editor:

Meanwhile German television station ZDF said it might now cease broadcasting the Tour de France.

"We signed a broadcasting contract for a sporting event, not a show demonstrating the performances of the pharmaceautical industry," said editor-in-chief Nikolaus Brender.

"We are going to think about our future as broadcaster and maybe refuse to broadcast this event." 

Cool. This article has some offbeat humor and photos.

One of the best cycling quotes I've heard: "I'll fight to come back next year or the following year, whatever it takes because cycling is a beautiful sport."

This is a great synopsis of Floyd Landis' career and his great Tour win.
