Floyd Landis is an utter disgrace both to cycling and the United States. I held off judgment until the second sample came up positive this morning. If the story we are getting is accurate then Landis is a cheater. He turned one of the greatest feel-good stories in sports history into one of its saddest chapters. The man with the arthritic hip who pulled off one of the greatest stage comebacks used artificial means to accomplish that feat. Unless he was framed, which is extremely unlikely, Landis is a liar and a cheat. I had jumped on the Landis bandwagon. Now that bandwagon should be burned and relegated to the ash heap of forgotten history. Maybe he and Rhett Bomar can pull off scams together at some used car dealership in the desert of nowheresville.
