An end to the Landis saga

763734301_3240b98bf1_m1.jpgHopefully this brings it to an end. The fallout has been huge and cycling needs to heal and rebuild it’s reputation…..

Spanish cyclist Oscar Pereiro will formally be awarded the winner’s yellow jersey for the 2006 Tour de France in a ceremony next Monday in Madrid by Tour de France director Christian Prudhomme.

As you probably know, Pereiro, second in the 2006’s Tour, takes over as champion after an almost year long investigation which ultimately resulted in Floyd Landis being found guilty of using synthetic testosterone during the 2006 Tour and his being stripped of the title.

    Floyd is innocent. He is appealing CAS. He did win and will win overall.

    Abe Lincoln: “If I were to try to read, much less answer, all the attacks made on me, this shop might as well be closed for any other business. I do the very best I know how - the very best I can; and I mean to keep doing so until the end. If the end brings me out all right, what’s said against me won’t amount to anything. If the end brings me out wrong, ten angels swearing I was right would make no difference.”
