Why Floyd? Why?
So Tour de France champion-for-now Floyd Landis tested positive for high levels of testosterone after his incredible performance after stage 17. Man, this is crushing. I admit I was skeptical of how anyone who will be getting hip replacement surgery soon can compete for the yellow jersey without "help," but Floyd still made a believer out of me. I got emotional when he won and thought he may have even saved cycling. Now we are awaiting the results of a backup sample of his blood to confirm what looks to be devastating news. Cycling has been through such a wringer with blood doping and other drug abuse that even if this second sample comes up negative, Landis will always be branded with that suspicion.
Ugh.. this is so sad.
