The news, as expected, was not good for Floyd Landis -- or professional cycling -- this morning.Here's the story.
And so far, Floyd is sticking by his story -- well, stories. Like Tyler Hamilton, the continuing story will not be good for cycling. But this situation is even worse. True, Hamilton won the gold medal in the 2004 Athens Olympics. But the Tour de France is cycling's ultimate test and most public event. And now, the champion is in question -- and so is the entire sport. Again.
Here's a question Greg Lemond must be asking: What do Roberto Heras, Tyler Hamilton and now Floyd Landis all have in common?
Keep 'em comin', Greggie.
