Is The Card In The Mail Yet?

It doesn't appear that Tour de France chief Patrice Clerc will be sending Floyd Landis a get-well-soon card anytime soon.
Bad Boy Floyd underwent state-of-the-art surgery on his damaged hip Wednesday. As for his damaged reputation, Clerc piled on to L'Equipe, the French sports paper that also just happens to run the Tour and always seems to claim it has the inside dope on doping scandals.
"For me, the sermon has been read. Landis did not win the Tour because he cheated," Clerc (beware of Frenchmen in nice suits) said in an interview with L'Equipe, which rarely has anything nice to say about American Tour winners.
Landis could become the first winner in the 103-year history of the Tour to lose the his title over doping allegations.
Clerc, the head of Amaury Sports Organization which owns the Tour and L'Equipe (does the term "conflict of interest" have a French translation?), said that Landis "gravely affected the credibility of his sport."
Thanks for the ethics lecture, buddy.
