The Tour de France is less than a month away, and Landis conveniently decides that the time has come to come clean about his use of PEDs, and to make a mockery of both Lance Armstrong and the American cycling program.

Despite the fact that Landis is a self-serving lowlife and scumbag who is basically trying to deflect his shortcomings on other people by bringing them, the sport of cycling, and the Tour de France down with him, I think he is telling the truth about Lance. Unfortunately for Landis, his credibility in the eyes of the media and the majority of public opinion is ZERO. That's what happens when you lie your head off for 5 years, and blame everyone except himself for being DQd from his victory in the 2006 Tour.

It is very strange that Landis has a sudden change of heart, and decides that he wants to become cycling's version of Jose Canseco just weeks before the most prestigious cycling event in the world kicks off. It wouldn't surprise me if those implicated by Landis are banned from this year's event, including Armstrong. Cycling has taken as many black eyes as horse racing, and can't afford any more. Guilty until proven innocent seems to be the best way for both the cycling governing body and the Tour organizers to handle this. Produce the perception that the racing is clean, and deflect the inevitable bad press away from your big event.

I hope they all go off a hill, 100ft to their death. Well maybe just some broken necks, legs, and arms. :evil:

What exactly is a Tour De France..?? SO now we know they are all hopped up on PED's great..Next...Why not just combine WWF,cycling and sprinkle in a mix of cheaters from the NFL and MLB to add excitement..Oh and instead of bikes let them use skateboards and to add some interest have them run in circles chased by Lions.Winner gets to get his blood spun..Losers........A Rod can be Grand Marshall.
