According to cycling news, the verdict in Floyd's trial will be announced some time on Friday. Perfect timing, eh? Just 24 hours before the start of the Tour. It's kind of a shame to do that, since it will draw so much attention away from the guys that are out there busting their humps to win this year. All anyone will be talking about on Saturday will be Floyd! It would make a great drinking game, though...take a gulp everytime one of the commentators says Floyd or Landis!

Love the drinking game idea, I may just suggest to DH. HMMM-shots of preferred spirit each time we hear Floyd or Landis, sounds really good to me!

A few weeks ago I asked Dh if he had heard anything about the verdict yet. He said they had 30 days from the time they started delierating and he predicted they'd wait until right when the Tour was starting to announce it in order draw more attention to the Tour. Looks like he predicted correctly.
FINGERS CROSSED FOR FLOYD!!!

Re: The drinking game- To make it really authentic, the shots should be whatever Floyd drank the night of Stage 16. Jack Daniels, if I recall correctly...?
On a more serious note, I've got my fingers crossed for Floyd. Though whatever verdict comes out, you know there will be an appeal from the opposite side that will continue to drag the whole thing on and on."How about if we all just try to follow these very simple rules of the road? Drive like the person ahead on the bike is your son/daughter. Ride like the cars are ambulances carrying your loved ones to the emergency room. This should cover everything, unless you are a complete sociopath."
