Some things...

Yeah, yeah, yeah...
We've all read the stories and emails (purportedly from Floyd). Here's my take...

KEEP YOUR PANTS ON!

First, Floyd has been proven as a liar several times before, including under oath. People said he was innocent, then guilty, then full of shit. Now, suddenly, he's the second coming? Really?

Second, Floyd has been proven to have sent threatening, borderline blackmail, emails to pretty much everyone from Lance, to John Burke (Trek), to the CEO of Amgen. These will come out sooner rather than later. Remember when he HACKED the French lab?

Third, Floyd has ZERO hard evidence of anything that he's claiming. His emails to various media and cycling-related outlets is some cowardly lion bullshit that smacks of spite and desperation. Cycling has basically turned it's back on him and now he is pointing fingers and naming names. He needs to remember that when one points a finger, there are three pointing back.
All Floyd has done thus far is make libelous and defamatory statements about the BIG names in American cycling, as the big names will get him press. What's the bet that his new book will come out sometime around the 3rd of July 2010? Something happens on that day, but for the life of me...

BTW, if we are believing statements read in the internet, I'm banging Megan Fox on a daily basis!

Am I naive to think that LA, Levi, or whoever has doped in the past, or might be on the AVGAS now? Hell No!
To ride at those speeds, over those distances, you have to do some sort of ACTIVE recovery. As a nice European lady told Il Prof on their cross country trip, and I paraphrase, "The Tour cannot be won on a ham sandwich...", or something to that effect.
I don't condone the drug use, but I understand. If you are from a dirt poor family, in a dirt poor country, and someone offers you the opportunity to make more money than you've ever seen in your life, you take it.
And climb down off your moral high horses folks! If a Genie popped into your living room and said you could have Lance Armstrong levels of fame and MONEY, and all you had to do was spin your blood in a centrifuge and take a few injections now and again, YOU'D DO IT!!! If you say you wouldn't, you're full of shit and YOU know it! Hell, I'd do it TODAY!

Lastly, for all of you conspiracy theorists who think the Omerta of pro cycling is keeping the story down, move out of your mom's basement, take off your tin foil hat, and get some sunshine on your faces. It's becoming a bit like the whole 'Moon-landing-was-a-hoax' thing. Tens of thousands of people would have to be in on the plot, and as we all know, three people can keep a secret if two of them are dead!

I didn't believe Floyd then, and I don't believe his line of rhetoric now. Funny how those who have been accused have stepped squarely in front of the camera, yet Landis is MIA...

The other negative from all of this? Lemond will pop out of his hole at any moment and flap his fat, alcoholic, parnoid gums. STFU Greg...
