Really sad story: http://www.velonews.com/news/fea/10719.0.html

They think it was suicide, and while they downplay the effects of the doping scandel I can't imagine it didn't have a big imapct.

Especially reading here how his restaurant was all decorated with Floyd memerobilia: http://www.cyclingnews.com/news.php?id=news/2006/aug06/aug17news

Regardless of where you stand on whether Floyd did or didn't do it, this is so tragic. Can you imagine the pain that family is going through right now.

It's terrible for everyone, but I esp. feel for Floyd's young daughter. Going through all the ups and downs of the Tour, stuff with the doping scandal, then her grandfather... she is at that vulnerable age. How very, very sad.

Could Landis have any more stress in his life? What a weird turn of events. So sad!

They were mates, not just in-laws

They flatted together, rode together, and Witts introduced Floyd to Amber...

They were mates...



Much aroha going out to him and his from Middle Earth

Could the news get any worse?

This is so very tragic. Floyd, his wife, and their families have already been through enough, and now this.
