Bad Boy Floyd is over-exposed.So says none other Our Boy Lance, our own over-exposed fav:
"The best is just to let the process play out and get out of the media," Lance Armstrong said in Indianapolis. "I would have encouraged him just to lay low."
Lance continues to stand by his former teammate.
"It's obviously not a good situation for cycling," Armstrong said. "Everybody would admit that. Floyd would admit that. It's certainly not a good situation for American cycling. But I am a fan and supporter of Floyd Landis. I believe in him."
Armstrong said cycling's testing policies are among the strictest in sports.
"That's why so many people are out there getting caught, or supposedly getting caught, because we're really aggressive," he said. "If the NFL had the same policy that cycling has, we'd be talking about something different than Floyd Landis right now. It would be a huge story."
I have been a big fan of NFL for years but in the UK the lack of the blanket coverage you get here in North America made me unaware of the drug testing protocols. Track and field has always done well in outing people and athletes such as Paula Radcliffe should be lauded for standing up at an event and holding up a banner that read "Drug Cheats out" before her race! Living in toronto I am embarassed to find that the CFL has no drug policy at all!
