Court to rule on Tour de France title for Floyd Landis

...Go FLOYD,You CAN DO IT...GO -GO - GO!

Finally!

Guys,
the cynical part of me thinks that the decision will be against Floyd because CAS would not want to embarrass TdFarce before their historic race.

Hope I am off base and justice prevails.

Raymond, RSD is not off base. He has provided evidence to support his thoughts and opinions. You have only provided your Pro-France mentality and haven't provided any supporting evidence to support your opinions.

I still haven't forgotten that Operation Puerto had also listed European tennis and football players. Yet, their names were never released. I can't help but feel that something is very amis there.

If you were trully against drug cheating in sports, I believe that you would want to know those names as well as the cyclists.

Cheers

Hi All

well my hope is that the CAS is truly the independent organisation that it is supposed to be and that it will base it's decision on facts and not on politics

But maybe im dreaming

11hrs 15min to go

Yes, I must agree with you, RSD. I have little hope for Floyd. The Men in Charge has already shown us that they go for the popular decision rather than the right one. Money talks!!

1924:

"You have no idea what the Tour de France is," Henri said.

"It's a Calvary. Worse than that, because the road to the Cross has only 14 stations and ours has 15. We suffer from the start to the end. You want to know how we keep going? Here..."

He pulled a phial from his bag. "That's cocaine, for our eyes. This is chloroform, for our gums."

"This," Ville said, emptying his shoulder bag "is liniment to put warmth back into our knees."

"And pills. Do you want to see pills? Have a look, here are the pills." Each pulled out three boxes.

"The truth is," Francis said, "that we keep going on dynamite."

Henri spoke of being as white as shrouds once the dirt of the day had been washed off, then of their bodies being drained by diarrhoea, before continuing:

"At night, in our rooms, we can't sleep. We twitch and dance and jig about as though we were doing St Vitus's Dance..."

"There's less flesh on our bodies than on a skeleton," Francis said.

...Hey ZENdude,this looks like good piece of reading which I will save for later...BTW, heard anything yet?, the suspense is killin' me.
Cheers...Gus.

thank the stars above that we/they/YOU didn't weed (heh heh) out the DOPERS *before* the Second World War; otherwise we'd have never met, made friends, etc...

Hi guys, Gus, etc...

Keep breathing: I figure at WADA and USADA, they're looking at each other about like Mikael Gorbachev, at a crucial point in WORLD history, scratching his beautiful colorful forehead and saying 'what did we get, for ALL THAT MONEY we spent?'...
