AP is reporting that Landis has received a 2 year ban for doping and must forfeit the 2006 Tour de France title. I really had hoped that he was one of the few honest ones left in the sport. Reality check

Bad, I hope he fights it. I don't think a guilty verdict means he's guilty. I hope he isn't guilty and I still believe him.
Same as how a not-guilty verdict means someone is innocent....cough...ahem...OJ...

I don't believe any of them anymore...
Not Floyd, not Lance, not Tyler... if theres a way to use in a professional sport, any professional sport chances are its getting done.
Men, women, whatever... where there's money for performance there's gonna be somebody looking for that edge.
Sorry gang, but my rose colored lenses have been retired.no regrets!

And part of the problem is that the "legal limits" are not seen by atheletes/coaches/trainers as a deterrent, but rather a place to top up to. That is, its "ok" to take supplements, as long as one doesn't exceed the legal limit...
But heck yes... I will stilll be watching Le Tour... with or without drugs its still an awesome thing to watch.
