Landis was discredited and disowned in short order Saturday when elevated levels of testosterone showed up in his "B" or second doping sample -- as it did in the initial "A" sample released last week.
The samples also contained synthetic testosterone, indicating that it came from an outside source.

Landis again denied cheating.


"I have never taken any banned substance, including testosterone," he said in a statement. "I was the strongest man at the Tour de France, and that is why I am the champion.
"I will fight these charges with the same determination and intensity that I bring to my training and racing. It is now my goal to clear my name and restore what I worked so hard to achieve."

What does everyone feel about this? I mean, the guy is pretty much been proven wrong, yet he continues to deny illegal use of steroids. Even worse, alot of Americans looked to him as a hero, one who fought the odds and won cycling's most popular event.

I think you mean Lance, not Landis.

I don't really care.

I don't really care about cycling but thought it was kind of cool how after Armstrong retires another American steps in and wins it. I guess there could have been some wierd thing happen and he never knowingly took anything, but the evidence seems to say otherwise. Not really sure what to think about this.

dont care and him failing the B) test is like a stoner not studying for a math test.

No I meant Landis, with the hip problem and everything. Though yes Lance too is heroic for his epic.

Yeah.


Cyclists and track and field competitors use roids at large. That is all there is too it.

I find it pretty weird and disrespectful to the US...
