Ford: Landis' road to redemption begins

Oh isn't this special. The doper is trying to dupe the dopes he duped.

Floyd must live by the credo "There's a fool born every minute."

I'd rather comment about Bonnie Ford: no one has a more impressive bibliography of articles on doping, Landis and more. She's very competent, thorough (although 'WADAwatch' was ignored: heh heh), and thought-provoking.

"Hindsight is 20/20"... Would any one of us have done what Floyd did THEN, or recently? Would we truly have done it differently?

His 'confession' knocked my blog out of the water...

I had no idea what to write, after 'giving my all' in opinions and research as to the perceived failures in the system (as Dan Rosen wrote), and I still contend that any Athletes whose cases followed erroneous decisions (not that the 'verdict' was wrong: their reasoning and bases in the CODE were and remain fallacious!) based on a desire to 'get Landis!', face a hurdle that was implemented through the erroneous decisions.

sigh...

"Don't let it bring you down: it's only castles burning..."

Z~^~

We may have been wrong about Floyd Landis only because we supported the legal system as it's supposed to work as and we tried being decent in acepting his word. But, we were not wrong about the system in place here in the US nor in France. Tjhere were too many probvelms in place and only the real blind were too sutpid to see that.

I believe that the Floyd Landis case did in fact help to improve some severe problems within the cycling agencies and any inprovememnt is always a step forward.

Now if only the agencies would really begin to work together and with all the riders, then we may see a new beginning to the sport of cycling in trully healing. Otherwise it's still only the Soap Box Opera!

Cheers

Good observation and points, Harry

Take care

"Now if only the agencies would really begin to work together and with all the riders, then we may see a new beginning to the sport of cycling in trully healing. Otherwise it's still only the Soap Box Opera!"

The above still isn't happening and I believe that the federal government doesn't need to be involved in this case or any other sporting case.

That's what the courts and law enforcement are for. I'm not seeing other governments involved in sports investigations.

Once again the idiots in Washington, DC are trying tp prove something when they have already proven that they're off track.

Sounds and looks a lot more like "Wagging the Dog's Tail!"

Do hope that Raymond is droping in now and then to read.

As much as we have blamed the various cycling authorities in the past, we also have missed another trouble maker.

The individual rider who was accused as a doper and then cried innocent, innocent, innocent and finally later on admitted to doping have been a major problem here as well.

Riders such as Floyd Landis, Richard Virenguw, Tyler Hamilton, and David Millar along with several others could have helped cycling in more ways then one, if they had only come forward honestly and really provided all the information involved within their doping process.

Please don't try saying that they couldn't have done so, as every one of them had lawyers and lawyers are real good at making deals in any country. It's not the current fad just here in the US.

Yet, everyone of those guys stayed quiet.

Now, in one of the artilcles that I posted somewhere here, they're wanting to bust the team managers as well.

And in another article that I had posted, they finally pointed fingers at the team sponsors of which I had brought up several times at the beginning of thos Floyd Landis forum back in 2006.

In yet another article that I posted today, a source stated that our FDA agent is trying to go after the suppliers as he's more interested in the supplier then the rider.

And that is where most of law enforcement agencies prefer going after in the first place.

Next he'll be on the WADA Code revision committee (not that such is re-activated...)?

Well, just as one might have thought that Floyd Landis would have learned a lesson or two and shown some humility, there he gooes spouting his mouth off trying to act like the savior of cycling.

If this is all BS from FL, then I do hope that Pat McQuaid squares off with doper boy in a court room. And he needs to be banned from cycling for life.

If Pat McQuaid doesn't square off with FL in court, he may end up hurting himself and the UCI worse than what may have already happened through public opinion.

McQuaid fires back at Landis for cover-up comments
