  1. I'm in the middle of reading it.

    It's good. Better than the Lance books I have read since Landis give
    you more on his training and prep efforts. The Lance books are sort
    of like God, Landis is like a mortal who scaled the heights by being
    willing to suffer more than anyone else. Landis seems to be more
    revealing of himself, has a different attitude about making things
    public. I think the book is a must read for a racing cyclist since
    there's a lot of ideas on training to ponder.

    I have not got the part about the failed test and defense, but one
    chapter is called the Wiki Defense. He put everything on the web and
    got lots of free help poking holes in the evidence against him.

    I am going to try to finish quick. It would ruin a good read if they
    rule against him while I am in the middle of it!

    For me the difference is that everything I know about the two leads me to
    believe that Armstrong is the sort of [censored] I never did get along with - the guy
    you brace your shoulder for when he walks by. Landis I can hang with. Decent
    guy, interesting perspective on life and a sense of humor.
