LOL.

Maybe he will eventually crack up and find salvation by confessing. He and Hamilton should get together and tell the whole sordid story about Postal.

If Floyd has really pictures of some motos, his future is safe, he has a very good insurance, and it's probably why he acted like this.

you know, I always assumed that Armstrong put in money to the fund to ensure that Flandis kept his mouth shut. Let's not forget that supposedly Flandis has photos.

Can someone please fill me in on what **** Pound did that was so bad for cycling? Seems to me like he just got up the nose of the Omerta.

very funny.


But seriously, if Landis is taking advise from Armstrong - and thereby still trying to insist that he's innocent - then Landis is more of an idiot than I thought.

Landis needs to recognise that by following his present course, has not only cost him his career, he didn't even get the opportunity to earn some real money.
If Armstrong is advising/pressuring Landis - Landis needs to wake up and smell the coffee.
He can partially recover his reputation and he might even get a chance to race again - if he made a full confession.

Landis hasn't even recognised the fact that Armstrong won't even admit to riding the Tour de France anymore - given the fact that the UCI did a number of him the day after he retired (by leaking the six EPO positive results in 1999).

If Landis is not taking money from Armstrong..... then Landis is more of an idiot that I thought.

He is Mennonite. They make great comfort food. Everything is beige and slathered with gravy. I'm serious.

...don't you feel though, that flandis has to hold his course until the last appeal is trounced if he hopes to have a legal leg to stand on when he seeks to get his prize money? after that appeal is crumpled up, then i figure we will get the "tell-all" story of the times on the postal/disco bus.

I don't think we will. FLandis has gone too far down the road of denial to back up. He is in the same position as Hamilton. After conning money out of the people foolish enough to believe him, writing a book denying his guilt, and appearing on all sorts of talk shows and public venues proclaiming his innocence, there is no way he can do an about face without looking like a scumbag.

If we get the truth out of him, it won't be for a long time. Maybe when he is forty or fifty he will open up and explain what was going on. We might need a T-Mobile-like situation where others have come forward.

My favorite part of the article is that it includes another angry leprechaun picture of Landis...
..pink hearts, yellow moons, orange stars, green clovers, and red bags of centrifuged blood.

A man that would lie to his mother (who he knew was being hounded by the press for quotes) to help his case is a man who deserves to have a boot up his ass all the way to the D ring. (I love my motorcycle boots)

still can't agree with that line of thought. i predicate the entire quest for his having the positive overturned on technicalities isn't to have his name included on the list of Tour de France victors, but more to get at the riches (ever diminishing since his endorsement opp's have to be dwindling with every passing day). so when that avenue to wealth is closed off and he begins to feel the pinch for money, he makes the confessional book exposing for the american audience all the dirty secrets.

But the problem with that is, in America, that book wouldn't sell. The minute the American public find out that he had previously lied to them, repeatedly, then he will be considered evil/bad and not worthy of the money required to pay for the book. Besides, the majority of cycling softcore supporters in the US are Lance-lovers who would stick their hands over their ears and go "la..la..la..la..la..la". They would have no trouble branding him a liar in his tell-all book considering that for it to be true, he has to be a liar based on his earlier testimony.

And how much money does one make anyway from cycling books? His book this year was more about PR than making money. Having said that, it was fairly expensive.

No...I think his reputation with his family, friends and supporters is more important, and probably more lucrative...which means he will probably die maintaining his innocence IMO.

In the US, the messenger is often more important than the message, I think. Especially when it comes to selling books and standing for President.

If Flandis wrote a book detailing his doping and only doping without implicating others, then the book wouldn't sell because he's not (in)famous enough.

However, if the book went on to show that Armstrong did dope to win the Tour de France then the book would go through the roof. He'd better have good lawyers and damn good facts/proof before going that way tho. Come on, Americans love to hate their heroes, once someone is fallen to the gutter, they love to get dirt on them.

Agreed.

Looking back, at least some riders had the class to just walk away (Camezind, for example).
Landis with his appeals/funds, meeting house speechs etc : he's a wanker.
(sorry I shouldn't swear....but).
